[Samba] use autofs to mount spesific to user home directory

[bino oetomo]

Dear All

My box is an Ubuntu Maverick

I want to have
1. User with username as : binosmb,
2. that have home directory at the local box at /home/binosmb,
3. and all cifs mountpoint will go at /home/binosmb/network,
4. So that if the server have share named "produksi" it will mounted to 
/home/binosmb/network/produksi

and my samba server is http://www.turnkeylinux.org/fileserver run on 
VirtualBox

Ok, here is my steps (on my box)


A. Testing samba username (produksi01) and password (1234)  to mount to 
my own (/home/bino/mysmb) directory
bino at bino-desktop:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.232.2/produksi mysmb 
-o username=produksi01,password=1234,rw,uid=bino
bino at bino-desktop:~$ pwd
/home/bino
bino at bino-desktop:~$ more mysmb/produksi.txt
hello world
bino at bino-desktop:~$

Notes : Looks like the samba server is fine

B. Create user "binosmb" with passwd 1234
bino at bino-desktop:~$ sudo useradd -m -U binosmb
bino at bino-desktop:~$ sudo passwd binosmb
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
bino at bino-desktop:~$ ls -la /home/binosmb/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 binosmb binosmb 4096 2011-08-13 12:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root    root    4096 2011-08-13 12:59 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb 3353 2010-08-11 02:58 .bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb  675 2010-08-11 02:58 .profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb 1817 2010-08-15 22:13 .Xdefaults

C. Editing /home/binosmb/.auto.smb
bino at bino-desktop:~$ sudo pico /home/binosmb/.auto.smb
bino at bino-desktop:~$ sudo chown binosmb:binosmb /home/binosmb/.auto.smb
bino at bino-desktop:~$ ls -la /home/binosmb/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 binosmb binosmb 4096 2011-08-13 13:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root    root    4096 2011-08-13 12:59 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb  128 2011-08-13 13:06 .auto.smb
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb  220 2010-08-11 02:58 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb 3353 2010-08-11 02:58 .bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb  675 2010-08-11 02:58 .profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb 1817 2010-08-15 22:13 .Xdefaults
bino at bino-desktop:~$ more /home/binosmb/.auto.smb
produksi 
-fstype=cifs,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0775,uid=binosmb,credentials=/home/binosmb/.credentials://192.168.232.2/produksi

D. credentials file
bino at bino-desktop:~$ ls -la /home/binosmb/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 2 binosmb binosmb 4096 2011-08-13 13:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root    root    4096 2011-08-13 12:59 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb  128 2011-08-13 13:06 .auto.smb
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb  220 2010-08-11 02:58 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb 3353 2010-08-11 02:58 .bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb   39 2011-08-13 13:12 .credentials
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb  675 2010-08-11 02:58 .profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 binosmb binosmb 1817 2010-08-15 22:13 .Xdefaults
bino at bino-desktop:~$ sudo cat /home/binosmb/.credentials
username = produksi01
password = 1234


E. Here is my /etc/autofs.master
bino at bino-desktop:~$ more /etc/auto.master |sed -e '/^#/d'
/home/binosmb/network/ /home/binosmb/.auto.smb --timeout=60
+auto.master

F. Ok, lets try the autofs service
bino at bino-desktop:~$ sudo service autofs start
autofs start/running, process 28739

G Check for mounts
bino at bino-desktop:~$ su binosmb
Password:
$ cd
$ pwd
/home/binosmb
$ ls
network
$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2011-08-13 13:38 network

Note : Looks loke the /home/binosmb/network is autogenerated by autofs

$ cd network
$ ls
$

Note : I wis I have "produksi" sub directory there under 
/home/binosmb/network , but it's not there

$ mount -l
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
none on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
none on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc 
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/bino/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,user=bino)

Just incase the utofs have "ondemand" behavior
$ echo "test this" >~/network/produksi/myfile.txt
sh: cannot create /home/binosmb/network/produksi/myfile.txt: Directory 
nonexistent

Note : yup .. I thing the mounting process did not work

So , kindly please give me your enlightmen on what/how to look/edit/fix

Sincerely
