[Samba] upgraded from Samba 2.2.8a to Samba 3.0.0 now mount smbf does not work? update

[Peter Atkin]

I have upgraded from a almost perfectly working Samba 2.2.8a to Samba 3.0.0, I wished to 
join my NAS servers to the 
domain and it seemed something to do with DNS authentication was stopping them from joining, 
so I upgraded to Samba 3 
(not beta)

I have searched the web for reasons for this stange behavior but could find no explaination 
or fix, there are however 
other people having the same problem.

I have two questions:

1) my smbfs commands in /etc/rc.local now hangs the consol when I reboot, needles to say 
this did work before.... 
sometimes one or two or my smbfs commands will work without reason, I had to comment out the 
smbfs commands so I could 
test the reason for this behavior.

When I set log level = 3 ig get the following output when I run :

[root at cf root]# mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx //cores/users /mnt/nas/users
opts: rw
opts: username=xxxxx
opts: password=xxxxx
mount.smbfs started (version 3.0.0)
added interface ip=10.0.0.100 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name core<0x20>
resolve_wins: Attempting wins lookup for name core<0x20>
resolve_wins: using WINS server 127.0.0.1 and tag '*'
Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 10.0.0.3 )
Connecting to 10.0.0.3 at port 445

Unless I press CTRL C the console will just hang their on “Connecting to 10.0.0.3 at port 
445”

There are no errors in the /log/var/messages log that seem to suggest an error of any kind.

-----start

# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

# mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx //cores/users /mnt/nas/users
# mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx //cores/backup /mnt/nas/backup
# mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx //cores/logon /mnt/nas/logon

# mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx //cores/quickbooks /mnt/nas/quickbooks

/root/firewall.sh
end-----

Does anyone know why this is happening and what to do about it


2) I wish to start using NFS mounts much the same way I was using smbfs mounts.

mount -t nfs 10.0.0.99:/backup /mnt/nas/backup

My problem is I seem not to be able to mount a NFS with a username and password, how can I 
mount a remote volume with a 
specific username and password.

Thanks for any help anyone can give
