[Samba] Autofs and Fedora 11

[Ian Shay]

One more piece of information: when trying to mount explicitly (without autofs)
I have the following problem:

mount -t cifs //Matsa/Pisi /mnt/matsa --verbose -o
guest,user=guest,uid=501,gid=100,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777,domain=WORKGROUP

results in

mount error: could not resolve address for Matsa: Name or service not known
No ip address specified and hostname not found

As before, smbclient //Matsa/Pisi seems to have no trouble with the IP
