Thanks for reporting this. The next release will contain a kind of ugly workaround for the problem. Most Unix operating systems don't have a tradition of browsable automounters. User interface programs on these platforms often trigger the automounting by listing directory contents and following symbolic links in advance. The ugly workaround consists of disabling the browsing, leaving the bare functionality of a Sun-like NFS automounter. Only after you access a resource by name, it will become available in /CIFS. You can then use the automounter by having a symbolic link point into /CIFS. The release date of this next release is not known now. We want to implement a couple of detail improvements before the release. Regards, Christian. -- Dipl.-Ing.
