Good $time :) I'm trying to setup my system so, that it can automount Windows shares. I'd like to have it so, that I do NOT have to specify each and every host and share in the automount configuration; I'd like to have it so, that it's as "comfortable" as the NFS solution that you can get, if you use /etc/autofs/auto.net. That's a (Gentoo supplied) executable script. If invoked with the target hostname, it'll print all the available exports on that NFS host and thus allows to use these exports. Eg.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/shm $ /etc/autofs/auto.net winds06 -fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=11,retrans=4,posix,nocto \ /opt/ORCLfmap winds06:/opt/ORCLfmap \ /pool winds06:/pool \ /pool/netbackup-catalog winds06:/pool/netbackup-catalog So, on that winds06 host, there are 3 exports (ORCLfmap, pool and netbackup-catalog). When I now do a "ls /net/winds06/pool", I'd see what's in the pool export on winds06. In /etc/autofs/auto.master, I've got: /net /etc/autofs/auto.net I'd like to get something like this for Samba hosts as well. As a (dysfunctional :() start, I've hacked up a "auto.smb" script, which you can find at <http://askwar.pastebin.ca/527240>. If invoked on the command line, it returns: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/shm $ /etc/autofs/auto.smb winfs001 -fstype=smbfs,credentials=/home/askwar/winfs001.cred \ R$ ://winfs001/R$ \ HOME ://winfs001/HOME \ C$ ://winfs001/C$ \ DAITMeeting ://winfs001/DAITMeeting \ DEPT ://winfs001/DEPT \ APPL ://winfs001/APPL \ F$ ://winfs001/F$ \ ADMIN$ ://winfs001/ADMIN$ \ WORKGROUPS ://winfs001/WORKGROUPS \ D$ ://winfs001/D$ \ PUBLIC ://winfs001/PUBLIC \ E$ ://winfs001/E$ Those are all the shares on the winfs001 host. In auto.master, I've got the following: /smb /etc/autofs/auto.smb But it does not work :( When I do a "ls /smb/winfs001/DEPT", I get: ls: cannot access /smb/winfs001/DEPT: No such file or directory And in syslog: ==> ./syslog <== Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> Usage: mount.smbfs service mountpoint [-o options,...] Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> Version 3.0.24 Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> Options: Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> username=<arg> SMB username Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> password=<arg> SMB password Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> credentials=<filename> file with username/password Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> krb use kerberos (active directory) Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> netbiosname=<arg> source NetBIOS name Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> uid=<arg> mount uid or username Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> gid=<arg> mount gid or groupname Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> port=<arg> remote SMB port number Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> fmask=<arg> file umask Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> dmask=<arg> directory umask Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> debug=<arg> debug level Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> ip=<arg> destination host or IP address Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> workgroup=<arg> workgroup on destination Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> sockopt=<arg> TCP socket options Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> scope=<arg> NetBIOS scope Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> iocharset=<arg> Linux charset (iso8859-1, utf8) Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> codepage=<arg> server codepage (cp850) Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> unicode use unicode when communicating with server Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> lfs large file system support Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> ttl=<arg> dircache time to live Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> guest don't prompt for a password Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> ro mount read-only Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> rw mount read-write Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> This command is designed to be run from within /bin/mount by giving Jun 1 09:13:46 winnb000488 automount[15874]: >> the option '-t smbfs'.

Automounting Windows shares does work with this in auto.master: /winfs001 file:/etc/autofs/auto.winfs001 And auto.winfs001 being: * -fstype=smbfs,credentials=/home/askwar/winfs001.cred,uid=askwar,gid=users,rw ://winfs001/& But I don't want to have a line for every Windows host in my auto.master... What do you guys do? I'm also NOT looking for a Gnome or even KDE only solution. So anything using kioslaves is out of the question. It needs to work normally on the command line as well. Thanks a lot, Alexander Skwar PS: I know about <http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Auto_mount_filesystems_(AUTOFS)>. It's not what I'm looking for ;) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
