Pleas excuse this posting, if this problem has been solved before, but I'm
new in this newsletter and I didn't know.
If you omit passwords in your windows-network (and in your /etc/auto.misc),
autofs 1.3.1 calls smbmount with the -n flag instead of the -N flag.
The -n flag stands for a netbios-name, -N stands for no password.
I fixed this by changing and recompiling mount_smbfs.c as follows:
Substitute "-n" by "-N" in the following lines:
42, 47, 113, 115.
Doing this in addition to the "//"-Bugfix for parse_sun.c in the
samba-package i finally got a running system allowing bidirectional access
(linux server->NT client and NT client->linux server)
