In the fstab file it's: networkaddress mountpoint filesystem option,option,option I think you need to post exactly what you're trying, though put in a bogus password, so we can see what you're doing. My /etc/auto.smb file is a script. Look in: /usr/share/doc/samba-*/autofs/auto.smb and you see this: # automount points below /smb # This is an automounter map and it has the following format # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location # Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage # smb-servers supra_andreas -fstype=smb,username=andreas,password=foo ://supra/aheinrich supra_cspiel -fstype=smb,username=cspiel ://supra/cspiel phonon_andreas -fstype=smb,username=andreas ://phonon/andreas helium_cspiel -fstype=smb,username=cspiel ://helium/cspiel If you step through the references (that refers to the autofs manpage, which refers to other things), you might find something that helps you. Just quickly looking through things here (I don't use Samba, so this is just an exercise to me), I see that smb.auto is commented out in the /etc/auto.master file used by the autofs system. You might need to customise more than one thing. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
