I don't know about the first problem, maybe it's a networking thing or maybe it's trying to mount them before [sn]mbd is running ... an option of "noauto" will stop it from trying to mount it at boot time. As for the second, first make the mount point read/write/execute-able by the user you want to allow to mount the share. Then add the option 'user' in fstab. Eg : $ ls -ld /mnt/Aninias/C drwx------ 2 dman dman 4096 Mar 25 20:42 Aninias/C/ $ grep Anin /etc/fstab //aninias/C /mnt/Aninias/C smb defaults,user,noauto,workgroup=ITUSA,username=<user>,password=<pass> HTH, -D -- I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:34-36 http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
