First, ensure init starts both network and netfs at boot time and that network is started before netfs; netfs is responsible for mounting the SMB shares.
In my case: [david@joshua init.d]$ /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep -e network -e netfs netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off [david@joshua init.d]$ [david@joshua init.d]$ ls /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ | grep "S.*net" S10network S25netfs [david@joshua init.d]$ Second, do you need a username and password? If so, these should be provided as options rather than simply using "defaults". Hope that helps. knet.
