You can mount the SMB-shares from the /etc/rc.d/rc.local with smbmount. In this file you have to add a & at the end of the line of each the smbmount command. This executes the command in the background and solves the problem until the bug is fixed. rc.local: smbmount //server1/share /mnt/server1 -o username=xxx,password=xxx & smbmount //server2/share /mnt/server2 -o username=xxx,password=xxx & smbmount //server3/share /mnt/server3 -o username=xxx,password=xxx & Frank Jahn (Netzwerkadministrator, RHCE, LPIC1) -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: shrike-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:shrike-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]Im Auftrag von djh Gesendet: Donnerstag, 15.
