hi mike
- this is untested...but...
[leopard]# cat /etc/auto.master
/.autofs /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60
[leopard]# cat /etc/auto.misc
...
user -fstype=smbfs,login=user,passwd=user_pwd myserver:/myfiles
dont forget to: ln -s /.autofs/user /home/user
make sure you have:
autofs, smbfs listed in `cat /proc/filesystems`
mount_smbfs.o listed ins /usr/lib/autofs/* lots of stuff
if you want to use smbmount.... hummm...
#
# with smbmount from the smbfs-2.0.3 package:
# if this does not work, autofs will fail too
#
linux# smbmount //myserver/myfiles user_pwd -c 'mount /home/user' -U user
linux# ls -l /home/user
have fun
