an update. it now seems that using mount -t smbfs -o username=XXXXX,password=XXXXXX //hyacinth/mp3s /pub/mp3 only works once as when i umount the share or try and mount any other drive from that pc it just hangs. i can mount most drives once but after that cannot mount them again until the machine is rebooted. any ideas, anyone??
