I inputed this into this into the bug tracker; hope that's was what I am suppose to do.
I have two lines in my fstb which mount remote cifs shares. During boot up the rc scripts apparently process fstab before the network is up, so they do not get mounted. This is the exact same problem that I had on ZW,which probably means it;s a Slackware issue. I confirmed this on two machines, one networked via wire and the other wireless.
On the bug tracker thing, i think I messed up the category assignment. None of the three choices seem appropriate to me, and it was not obvious to me if a new one could be created. It seemed to default to "installer"

Thanks for the help on irc today. I really messed up my system. Spent several hours trying to fix it, but finally decided to reinstall. I had only installed the system the day before, so that and having my home on a separate partition resulted in a relatively benign re-install. Then the most embarrassing thing is that I found out that ssh was enabled all along
Anyway,i got it working and went on to test the insertion of mount -a in rc.M. It did work, but I had to add a sleep 21.before the mount line. With the 21 seconds the network cifs shares gets mounted consistently.

Rich, please try the new sysvinit-scripts package from the repo, accept the rc.M.new file, reboot and tell me if it works. Thanks!

Yes, works on both my wire and wireless setup. Still throws mounting errors during boot, but must be from an earlier attempt to mount the shares before the network is up.
Thanks
