[TriLUG] SAMBA question - booting

[Roy Vestal]

I have samba installed on RHL 9. When I start up, it hangs on "starting SMB
service". I can 3 finger salute and reboot. I go in via single, and remark
the samba entries in /etc/fstab and then "init 5" and it boots fine. I have
a total of 4 shares loading. I've tried them one at a time, but they all
hang at boot.

As a test, I booted without them loading, then removed the remark from
/etc/fstab and did "mount -a". 3 of the 4 shares load without hanging. The
4th is a hidden windows share. I don't use it, so I've remarked it out and
rebooted. It still hangs on "starting SMB service".

I've done the above adding one drive at a time and using "mount -a", and
there are no errors. However, if I reboot the box, it hangs on "starting SMB
service" whether 1, 2, or 3 drives are there.
