Greetings!

I seem to have a problem getting autofs to mount smb shares. Using the
standard distribution and standard setup, when I attempt to mount a share
from a windows box, I get the following error:

attempting to mount entry /misc/tao

This is using the tools from a standard RedHat 5.2 install (upgraded to
2.2 with all the needed goodies).

I was able to do a workaround by using mounts ability to look for a
"mount.<fstype>" program (which I wrote as a script).

But I was wondering what the issue is here.

G'day! <confused since I switched to redhat -- should have stuck
        with my own distribution I've been using since 0.99>
