Hi, I have a strange issue. If I type: mount_smbfs //theuser@theserver/myshare$ /mnt/here ... I will be prompted for theuser's password, I type it, and the share wil= l mount fine. But I want this share to mount automatically at bootup. I hav= en't been able to get it to work through /etc/fstab or through an sh script= . In fact typing: mount_smbfs -N //theuser@theserver/myshare$ /mnt/here gives me the following error: mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr =3D Authentication error I have the following in my /etc/nsmb.conf file: [theserver] workgroup=3DMYWORKGROUP addr=3D10.10.10.10 [theserver:theuser] password=3D$$1571crypto'dpassword I get the feeling that when mounting the smbfs share, it isn't even checkin= g the nsmb.conf file. I've also tried a plain text password, and also inclu= ding the same information in a /root/.nsmbrc file. I'm running out of ideas. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Ryan V.
