Hello, well when I said ~/.nsmbrc i meant also /root/.nsmbrc. Still i doesn't work for me, but then again my method with the daemon-like startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d is unusual. /usr/local/etc/nsmb.conf doesn't even work work even with a normal mount_smbfs command with -N.
Can you tell me how do you mount your shares at boot time? or at least can i see your /etc/fstab file ?
