But this isn't really the way to go about it. Next time, you should really make a unified diff of the change and post it to the autofs list for discussion. I don't use CIFS mounts myself and have to rely on others, like yourself, that do. Those that do should have an opportunity to see what is being proposed and comment on its potential impact. In any case, I think there are some other problems with our use of delimiters and escape characters when using the latest kernels, which cause mount fails, so I need to investigate that also. > > > > Smbfs is not supported anymore in the latest kernels. > > > > Stef > > > > > > _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
