Versions?


So I setup the samba server on the thinclient to accept guest without password (I read somewhere that this was necessary for autofs).

Probably because we don't have user credentials.


more /etc/auto.terminals floppy -fstype=smbfs,guest,fmask=666,dmask=777 ://a_thinclient_ip/fd and it works!

However, I think I need to use an external script (you call that a
map?) that produces this output
a_thinclient_ip   -fstype=smbfs,guest,fmask=666,dmask=777
/floppy thinclient_ip:/fd

I have manually added this to auto.smb to test it and it doesn't work.

So my question here is why?
floppy  -fstype=smbfs,guest,fmask=666,dmask=777
://a_thinclient_ip/fd  (this mounts)
a_thinclient_ip   -fstype=smbfs,guest,fmask=666,dmask=777
/floppy thinclient_ip:/fd   (this doesn't)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Doesn't look like an smb name?

Perhaps you need to use ://thinclient_ip/fd
But then that will only work (I hope) with the 4.1.4 beta.
