[Samba] Automounting

[Noel Kelly]

Your automount setup looks fine to me.  I was comparing it to my working one
here and cannot see any difference except I use IP addresses in my target
share names:

[root at medulla /root]# cat /etc/auto.master
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
/ukfax  /etc/auto.ukfax         --timeout=60
/cortex /etc/auto.cortex        --timeout=60


[root at medulla /root]# cat /etc/auto.cortex
# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:04 hpa Exp $
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage

backups         -fstype=smbfs,username=medulla,password=medulla
://192.168.5.16/backups
docs            -fstype=smbfs,username=medulla,password=medulla
://192.168.5.16/docs


If I then do an 'ls /cortex/docs' the share is automounted and I see the
dir-isting from the NT server.  You are triggering the automount by
attempting access on the mount point?

Cheers,
Noel

Hi, all!

I'm having some problems automounting Windows shares from my Debian
GNU/Linux system. However, doing it manually with

    mount -t smbfs -o username=Johan,password=foobar //nisse/C
    /var/autofs/nisse/

works flawless.

I'm totaly new with autofs so I don't know if I'm my setup is right, but
this is what I've done;

/etc/auto.master:

    /var/autofs/nisse       /etc/auto.nisse

/etc/auto.nisse:

    nisse   -fstype=smbfs,username=Johan,password=foobar    ://nisse/C

I don't know if it's useful but this is what I see in syslog:

    Jan 28 18:17:30 bettan automount[218]: starting automounter version
    4.0.0, path = /var/autofs/nisse, maptype = file, mapname =
    /etc/auto.nisse
    Jan 28 18:17:30 bettan automount[218]: Map argc = 1
    Jan 28 18:17:30 bettan automount[218]: Map argv[0] = /etc/auto.nisse
    Jan 28 18:17:30 bettan automount[218]: mount(bind): bind_works = 1

What am I missing here? :)
