For automounting smb/cif I use this:

$ tail -3 /etc/auto.misc
windowsshare -fstype=smbfs,username=mylogin,workgroup=myworkgroup,credentials=/etc/smbwindows.auth ://winserver/share1 unixshare -fstype=smbfs,username=mylogin,credentials=/etc/smbunix.auth ://sambaserver/mylogin

$ cat /etc/smbunix.auth
username=mylogin
password=secret

$ cat /etc/smbwindows.auth
username=mylogin
password=secret

$ cd /misc/windowsshare
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /misc/windowsshare]
$ df .
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
//winserver/share1 858652672 122945536 735707136 15% /misc/windowsshare


However, as you can see, I need two smb*.auth files because my password is diffrent on both shares (windows/unix) And the major problem is THE use of a smb.auth file where the password must be in clear text :-( . If someone knows how to automount cifs/smb FS without pre-entering the password ... The problem is that If I don't do that, autofs/mount won't prompt me to enter the password :-(
pehaps there's something to do with pamcred ... ?

thanks .

Hi,

I had a user report a bug as follows:

---
Description of problem:
automount does not understand //hostname in its config files, which is needed 
by mount.cifs and mount.smbfs
I found a "solution", but I don't like it:
use \/\/hostname in /etc/auto.misc file


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-4.1.3-114
samba-client-3.0.14a-2.1.fc3.kde

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put following line in /etc/auto.misc file:
share  -fstype=cifs                                                             
                                        //HOST/SHARE
(of course, I hope that you have host HOST with share SHARE and you can make
mount -t cifs //HOST/SHARE /misc/share)

2. ls /misc/share
Actual Results:  in /var/log/messages:
automount[1624]: mount(generic): failed to mount  (type cifs) on 
/misc/share/HOST/share

Expected Results:  //HOST/SHARE mounted in /misc/share
;-)

Additional info:

Same results with -fstype=smb
---

I have no experience with this.  What is the expected configuration to get
this to work?

Thanks,

Jeff
