Public bug reported:

I've added the following line to /etc/fstab:
//1in01/public  /mnt/lin01      auto    fmask=0777,dmask=0777 0 0
(previously made /mnt/lin01)

After that, I enter "sudo mount -a" and the following error occurs:
mount: special device //lin01/public does not exist

Issuing "mount" shows that the mount indeed is not activated.

Manual mounting succeeds through the following command: 
sudo mount -t smbfs -o fmask=0777,dmask=0777 //lin01/public /mnt/lin01

Detected on Edgy, this is working on Dapper.
