Description Wim Delvaux 2004-04-15 15:35:36 UTC 
The problem is that the timeout handling in open_socket_out is not correct.  It loops and 
increases the timeout between polls but resets the waited time instead of remembering how long 
it alread waited. 
 
As a consequence the default timeout of 20000 = 20 seconds lasts AGES 
 
I also added a parameter to smbmount to set the connect timeout.  Because of CIFS, the mount 
command tries to connect 3 times, waiting in all (in the case the timeout would have worked as 
expected) 60 Seconds which is long if you use the automounter. 
 
Hence I added the timeout=xxxxx option (just line NFS)

If it's still broken in 3.5, please reopen.
3.0 isn't supported anymore.
