Thank you for your responses (I have received 2 so far). What I did was
copy the auto.master and auto.misc files in the samples directory. Then, I
added my line item. Now, I just go under /misc/xxx, and I get it.
Would anyone know how to enter the line in the auto.misc file to allow
access to a SMB share?
I tried the following:
mshost -rw,soft,intr //mshost/shared
This apparently does not work. I noticed in the man page that it says you
don't need the double //, but even with 1, it doesn't work.
I also tried:
mshost -fstype=smb ://mshost/shared
This actually lets me change into the /misc/mshost/shared directory, but no
files exist.
Thank you in advance,
Derek
