Hello! I've noticed that if I put a line for automatically mounting a NetWare volume via ncpfs in fstab, the startup scripts tries to do this mounting *before* the network is up and running. Of course the mount will then never take place. Example line: EROFS1/Berit.hq.se /mnt/temp ncpfs \ multiple,tcp,ipserver=erofs1.norrbring.biz,uid=root, \ mode=644, \volume=/TEMP/TEMP,passwdfile=/root/.erofs1 0 0 (All in one line, of course..) I solved this by entering the following in boot.localfs: mount -av -t nonfs,noproc,nodevpts,nosmbfs,noncpfs And then a file ncpfs in /etc/init.d/ncpfs that I set to run in levels 3 and 5 via inetd. # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: ncpfs # Required-Start: $network syslog # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: 3 5 # Default-Stop: # Description: Import NCP (Novell NetWare) file systems from /etc/fstab ### END INIT INFO # Status shell functions . /etc/rc.status # Reset status of this service rc_reset # # Mount NCP filesystems in '/etc/fstab' # echo "Mounting NCP file systems..." mount -av -t ncpfs rc_status rc_status -v1 -r rc_exit I just think this (or an even more sofisticated solution) would be a parts of the "default" system installation. If you find out a better way to do this, please let me know! Regards, Anders Norrbring.
