[NTLUG:Discuss] SAMBA Problem (I Think)

[Scott Hollomon]

I know you were all holding your breath for the resolution of this problem and 
I think I now have it solved.  There seems to be some conflict between 
current versions of samba and konqueror when the shares are mounted via 
fstab, when they are mounted from the command line (ie mount -t smbfs) the 
problem goes away.  This problem does not appear to exist if you mount shares 
in fstab running on a windows server or if you use an older version of samba 
server or the samba clients.  This truly sucks because I cannot figure out 
exactly which component is causing the problem.

My workaround is to mount shares via a script using mount -t smbfs that runs 
with the other startup scripts in /etc/init.d/rc5.d, I just make it the last 
script to run.  If you know a better way I'm all ears.
