This doesn't help as it's a very active system, and /var/mail gets accessed pretty much continuously. It's not a matter of mounting it only when needed. I need it all the time. It's a matter of being able to mount it - if the remote server is down (or still booting up), I need some way of having it continue the bootup sequence, and retry mounting after a few minutes. -- W | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
