Hi,
Recently I have encountered strange problems with smbfs and autofs 3.1.7,
kernel 2.4.3.
The problem that I am having is that the automounter fails to mount a
samba mount but the corresponding command from the command line succeeds.
My configuration files is:
/etc/auto.fishies
mp3 -fstype=smbfs,username=dima,password="" ://fishies/mp3
and the automounter is launched as:
/usr/sbin/automount /.autofs file /etc/auto.fishies
Now the dubug output I get is:
automount[1162]: starting automounter version 3.1.7, path = /.autofs, maptype = file,
mapname = /etc/auto.fishies
automount[1162]: Map argc = 1

automount[1162]: shutting down, path = /.autofs
automount[1162]: -- /bin/umount --
automount[1162]: -- /.autofs --
The lines that start with -- I added to see the arguments being passed to
mount. The strange thing is that
mount -t smbfs -s -o username=dima,password="" //fishies/mp3 <a director>
succeeds with no problems.
The one thing that was changed on the Win2000 box was that only the
username dima is allowed to mount the export rather than everybody.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
ttyl
Dima
