I have the same problem in RH9. I fixed this while mounting the w2k shares from the rc.local as background processes with the & at the end of the line. It works fine. rc.local: smbmount //w2k/share1 /mnt/share1 -o username=xxx,password=xxx,uid=xx,gid=xx & smbmount //w2k/share2 /mnt/share2 -o username=xxx,password=xxx,uid=xx,gid=xx & smbmount //w2k/share3 /mnt/share3 -o username=xxx,password=xxx,uid=xx,gid=xx & regards On Wed, 2003-04-23 at 06:30, Igor NestoroviÄ wrote: > As reported on News groups, there seem to exist a problem affecting > mounting Windows shares with smb-client. > It looks there's no time out here. > Example.
