samba - Sep 2004 - smbmount curiosity - cant mount share in rc.local

Hello,

I would like to mount a certain share when the server is booted.
So I added the following line at the end of rc.local:

/bin/mount -t smbfs -o guest //backup/archiwizacja$ /mnt/archiwizacja

Interestingly, this doesn't mount anything, nothing is added to the logs 
either.

When I enter this line manually, after server is booted, it is mounted.

# mount -t smbfs -o guest //backup/archiwizacja$ /mnt/archiwizacja
# mount
(...)
//backup/archiwizacja$ on /mnt/archiwizacja type smbfs (0)


It makes no difference if I change the netbios name (backup) to IP 
address in this rc.local.

Of course rc.local is executed, as other programs from it are ran.


Any ideas?

No idea if it would work, but have you tried putting it in /etc/fstab?
