HOWEVER, if SRV happens to not be up at the time FreeBSD boots, FBSD will halt and prompt to go into single user mode thinking that there is a catastrophic problem. I want the mount to occur if possible, and to be retried later if not possible at boot time. But I want this to occur automatically without my having to poke at the machine manually to see to it. 'noauto' was a tempting solution, but it seems not to work the way I'd expect. I added it to the entry, manually unmounted /localmount, and then did a 'mount -a'. The smbmount did not come back. Ideas anyone? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
