in RH-derived (probably others) systems, they are [un]mounted by /etc/init.d/netfs initscript. add your usual smb mount option in /etc/fstab and mount it manually by executing: /etc/init.d/netfs start you can automatically mount network fs on reboot by: chkconfig --level 345 netfs on do RTFM :) -- Edelberto S.
