Hi,

This is a pretty beginnerish question, but here goes:

I would like to make sure that I mount the NFS (mounted) and NT (smbmount)
shares that I use at startup. I'm using slackware 9. I made a little bash
script that mounts everything. Where should I run this? Should I modify
the inittab file? How?

Also, many of the NT shares are only recognizable if I give the full prefix:

server.company.local.com

If I just use "server", then I can't ping it. For a few of the servers, I
don't know what "company.local.com" to use. I can ping them from an NT box
that can see them by just the first ("server") part of the name and then use
the ip address. Is there a way I can figure out the rest (domain name) of
the machine?

Thanks,

Josh
