Only mount SAMBA shares at home?

[termite]

I have a couple of samba shares listed in /etc/fstab, so netmount tries to mount them on boot. That's great if I'm at home, but it seems netmount hangs if it can't find the shares (ie I'm somewhere else). I think it's a problem with cifs, but the solution should be to check if I'm at home before trying to mount the shares. Any non-hackish way to do this?

I can just hack the netmount init script to check my essid or something like that, but it feels hackish...

A common solution to this problem is to use the softlevel feature. Create one softlevel for home and another for everywhere else. Add netmount to the home softlevel, but not to the other softlevel.

How do I make it only load stuff in the new level I create when I'm at home?

for softlevel:

but really, noauto in fstab will stop them from loading,
and a softlevel "home" that has a service that only loads in home that will execute the mount commands would work

Ah, I see. Thank you
