to me, to support the old smbmount or new smbmount syntax would
mean adding an option -newsmb to autofs...

somewhere in autofs code:

    if ( newsmb ) {
        smbmount $Share -P $Passwd -c 'mount $MntPoint' -U $USR
    } else {
        smbmount $Share $MntPoint -U $USR -P $Passwd
    }

or something along that line will solve the problem... at least
in my simplistic view...

- a new autofs that does not support the old syntax will create
  too much headache...

thanx
