Timeout while trying to mount samba shares on boottime

Hello all

I want to mount shares automatically at boottime (even more since I never
found out how they can be mounted by a user - all the internet sais is
that there is a problem). It happened to work, but somewhere during updates
the ability got lost. Now the mounting process runs into a timeout and
tells
me the servers are unreachable. If I mount the share manuall as root it
works.

Is it possible to change the timeout? netsmb_dev is the very last thing
loaded
so I would not be surprised if the mounting process just times out before
the
module is properly started up. Giving it more time would solve that
problem.

System information (client):
- FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p6
- samba-2.2.11_1

Servers are running FreeBSD and Samba 2.x - apparently working because all
connectens from Unix or Windows are stable (once they are established ;)

Thanks for any tips!

Regards
     Peter
