@mark-fox, thanks for filing this report! If I am reading your report correctly this appears to be specific to autofs and when you do not escape certain characters? My suggestion was going to be escaping these charachters or using the ASCII codes for example:
DOLLARSIGN = \044 AMPERSAND = \046 You have the bash output when trying to do this via the command line, however I would expect that to fail as $ is a special character. ** Changed in: autofs (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1680224 Title: auto.smb fails on Windows administrative shares To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/1680224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
