Hello,

since some time now I'm using a construction which makes use of a construction 
of auto files
(auto.master, auto.hosts and auto.share) to mount smb shares on demand.
I'm wrriting a howto about it now, which will appear soon on HowtoForge.

Now I've found information about the configuartion of the three files on:

http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/19076.html

A short summary:

there are three files, the auto.master file:

/mydomain       /etc/auto.mydomain

the auto.mydomain file:

* -fstype=autofs,-Dhost=& file=:/etc/auto.mydomain.sub

and the /etc/auto.mydomain.sub

* ${host}:/&
* 
-fstype=smbfs,workgroup=mydomain,uid=myuser,credentials=/home/myuser/.smb/mydomain
 ://${host}/&

Now my question is about the latest file. First thing: what is happening here? 
The first line, what does it?

I anybody can help me here,

thanks,

Stef Bon
