Experiencing this prob w/ all samba versions above 2.2.8a, on Linux 2.4.20-8, x86. configured samba w/ "--with-smbmount". Problem exists w/ seemingly all possible samba configuration options... Upon reboot, the following command executes successfully (once)... mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //host/share /mountpoint a second attempt (any subsequent attempt for that matter) to mount another share of the same type causes the command to hang. CTRL-C must be pressed to escape. Interestingly enough, the mount is actually created. This (bug?) makes it impossible to mount multiple smb shares via a script, as the script hangs after the first mount.
I cannot see a problem here. I have several smbfs mounts on several machines. This works well, but otherwise it wouldn't be fixed anyway due to unmaintainedness of smbfs. use cifs this days
