Hello,

I've posted earlier here, about the autofs managed network maps.

I'm using the new autofs version. With this version it's possible to use "multi 
mount maps". The script here uses the name of the 
network as key, here only the "Windows Network" is supported. 


copy the auto.network script to /etc/autofs
make it executable if not already

mkdir -p /mnt/network

Add this to the auto.master file:

/mnt/network /etc/autofs/auto.network -browse

So when I want to enter the "Windows Network", I type:

ls -A "/mnt/network/Windows Network" 

You'll get the complete windows environment and you can access the shares.
It acts as guest, but when a credential file is provided, it will use that one 
for authentification.

It takes some time to complete, it uses lookups by nmblookup. If your network 
is bigger, it takes more time.

It uses CIFS, and will check it is supported. You can make it use SMBFS, change 
the parameter FILESYSTEM

Futher this script only creates a map for the Windows Network. On my system the 
script can also handle FTP and SSH (with the 
help of Fuse)

See for more info:

The it's possible to do:

ls "/mnt/network/FTP hosts" and
ls "/mnt/network/SSH"
