[Samba] Automounting Samba Shares

[Markus Klimke]

Hi all,

I'm trying to (auto)mount the home directories of my users via samba3 to 
cut down nfs if it works. If I add an entry to the fstab, root is able 
to mount the share, if the appropriate kerberos ticket is available. But 
I can't mount it as a usual user, just works, if I mount it into the 
home directory. But I want to mount the home directory and don't want to 
create a temporary one to mount the real one there. So I've chowned to 
the user which shall have it... and it works. But I can't unmount it (???)

With autofs it doesn't work either, telling me:

do_mount //samba/user /mnt/autofs/samba type smbfs options krb using 
module generic
mount(generic): calling mkdir /mnt/autofs/samba
mount(generic): calling mount -t smbfs -s -o krb //samba/user 
/mnt/autofs/samba
 >> 7422: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied).
 >> SMB connection failed

Every homedir can be accessed via //samba/USERNAME

Has anyone a hint?
