I did the following and it works: apt-get install autofs smbfs smbclient echo "/smb /etc/auto.smb" >> /etc/auto.master mkdir /smb /etc/init.d/autofs restart ls /smb/buffalo/share (buffalo is a samba host, share is the share name - replace with local details)
Initially this was not working for me, since I did not have smbclient installed and it is called by auto.smb. -- automount and auto.smb not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs5 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
