Title: Samba/autofs
Post by: halx on April 01, 2004, 02:07:10 am
Hi,

although this seems to be slightly offtopic (it\'s a general Linux question) I\'d like to ask how to set up automatic mounts with Samba to mount shares from my 860.  My Linux box runs Redhat 9.0 with kernel 2.4.25 (automount support compiled in).  Manual mount works flawlessly.  However, I\'m unable to convince autofs to mount automatically.

My cat /etc/auto.master looks like this:
/zaurus /etc/auto.zaurus

and /etc/auto.zaurus like this:
zaurus          -fstype=smbfs,passwd=,users,rw          ://zaurus/home

Autofs claims the directory but stays quite inactive.

Any suggestions?
