Problem with automounted drives

[Volker Kuehnel]

Hi folks,

since there was no awnser to my previos question, I just try it again:
In our group we're working with samba on a SunOS 4.1.3 workstation and 
about 30 wfwg and win95 clients for several time without any trouble 
(samba-1.9.16p6 release). Now i've installed version 1.9.17p2 and got the 
following problem: 
I can't reach directories on an automounted volume on the Server which is 
not currently mounted on the unix-machine by changing directory to that 
drive on the client (eg. cd \vol\bla\bla in a DOS-box)
With our former version of samba this worked fine, you only had to know the 
name of the automounted volume. What may be the cause of this behaviour? Is 
there an option that I may have missed?
I'll appreciate your help!
