Specifying `late' seems extremely unnecessary for NFS mounts. If mountcritremote can't properly depend on nmbd, nfsd, smbd for mounting filesystems, then it seems like a rc script dependency issue (otherwise, mountcritremote is basically mountcritlocal, waiting for some networking connectivity to come up, right?). > > Good question.
