[TriLUG] Samba question

Okey. I'm pulling out my hair. I have an RHL 9 box that is running samba
2.2.7a (updated via RHN). I have 4 entries in my fstab like this:

/dev/device	/mount/point	smbfs
credentials=/path/to/credsfile,gid=username,fmask=775,dmask=775 0 0

My problem is I have to remark these out to get the machine to boot, it
just hangs at "Starting SMB Services". Once I've done this, I can remove
the remarks, and sudo mount -a and it will mount them but never come
back to a prompt.

Any ideas of where it might be hanging? The shares mount and are
workable, but it worked fine under 7.3 and 8.0 but in 9 it's hurting...
