SMB problem: mounting a share on gutsy

[D. R. Evans]

Thanks to everyone who offered assistance.

For the record:

The old (dapper) /etc/fstab entry was:

//hpxp/c   /hpxp/c  smbfs defaults,user,auto,bg,guest,uid=n7dr 0 0

The new (gutsy) /etc/fstab entry is:

//192.168.0.244/C   /hpxp/c  cifs
defaults,user,guest,uid=n7dr,username=N7DR 0 0

I have no idea why it seems not to be possible to use a name instead of an
address for the remote computer, but that does seem to be the case.

Also, the "auto" capability does not seem to work, and has to be replaced
with "mount -a" in /etc/rc.local. I am not certain whether this is a bug or
whether cifs is simply not supposed to support the auto option for some reason.

Thanks again.
