easy debian question

[drstrangelove]

I have set my /etc/fstab so that /home and some other directories are on a different machine. What else do I need to do to have this work at boot time. As it is now, I have to (once I log in) use mount -a.
Any suggestions?

I believe you must add that command to your startup scripts. I recently saw a question asked in one of the forums as to where Debian startup scripts should be, so if you can find that, just add your mount -a command at the end of the script. Under Red Hat and Mandrake it's /etc/rc.d/rc.local, so almost undoubtably it's different under debian.
And let me also add that that is one sweet setup :)

Well I haven't worked with automounting network directories before, but I believe you could just add the auto option on that line in your fstab file. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can just look in your fstab and find a line that has either auto or noauto; that will give you the idea.

I already have it set to auto...
