Hi,

Due to security reasons, I'll have to scratch out some names, but the
structure will be the same as the original file:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
/dev/hda4	/	ext3	defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro
0 1
/dev/hda3	none	swap	sw	0 0
/dev/fd0	/floppy	auto	rw,user,noauto	0 0
/dev/hdc	/cdrom	auto	ro,user,noauto	0 0
proc	/proc	proc	defaults	0 0
/dev/hda1	/mnt/winxpdisk	ntfs
defaults,ro,user,noauto,umask=022,uid=0,gid=0
/dev/hda5	/mnt/datadisk	vfat
defaults,user,noauto,umask=022,uid=NNNNN,gid=100
nfsserver.oce.nl:/export/home/NAME	/mnt/datashare/	nfs

//yetanotherserver/data	/mnt/scans	smbfs
credentials=/home/NAME/.scans-credentials,user,auto
 
Here is /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This entry was created during the Debian installation
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
	address 10.0.0.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0

Not only, AFAICS.

I hope this is enough to get a grip on this problem.

Thanks!
