Sorry I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. It's definitely a
problem with the automounter, because I can manually mount many
different remote filesystems. I shouldn't have used smb filesystems as
an example, because those seem to be so rife with problems anyway. I
have the same problem (and get the same error) with nfs filesystems as
well. The automounter is always writing the following lines into
/var/log/messages:
Nov 17 09:13:12 rfslinux automount[4211]: attempting to mount entry
/nt/rfs_intranet
Nov 17 09:13:12 rfslinux automount[4218]: lookup(program): lookup for
rfs_intranet failed
It doesn't matter what kind of filesystem this is. I even tried the
defaults that come with the sample auto.misc file, namely the kernel dir
on ftp.kernel.org and /dev/cdrom. Both generate the same "lookup failed"
error. That is what I'm trying to track down.
If I type this:
mount.smb //rfs/intranet /mnt/wherever -o
username=adamh,password=XXXXX,uid=500,gid=500,fmask=755,dmask=755
it works fine.
I just updated my version of mount as someone suggested. I was using
mount-2.9o-1 and I upgraded to the RH6.1 version, mount-2.9u-4. Still no
luck.
Like I said, this has worked on this machine. I rebooted it to change
some hardware, and when it came back up, the automounter wouldn't work.
So I guess I'm just trying to pinpoint the problem.
Thanks for all your help.
