Running autofs-5.0.1-0.rc3.33 on Fedora Core 6. I'm trying to mount a share on a Windows 2003 server in a domain. nslookup returns the correct IP address and I can ping it. I have a domain username/password that gives me admin access to this server as well as to my local PC. For the purpose of this I create a local (not domain) user called awmelsales1 and a share called awmelsales1_backups. I do this on the server and on my PC.
TEST 1: I can mount the share manually using mount -o -fstype=cifs,username=awmelsales1,password=password //awmelfp01/awmelsales1_backups /mnt TEST 2: I run auto.samba manually (using /etc/auto.samba awmelfp01) this gives me: -fstype=cifs,username=awmelsales1,password=password \ /awmelsales1_backups "://awmelfp01/awmelsales1_backups" \ /awmelsales2_backups "://awmelfp01/awmelsales2_backups" TEST 3: I try this out on my local PC ls -l /smb/MYPC/awmelsales1_backups and it lists out all the files ie it works At this point I assume that: 1 - I can manually mount so I can see the server, the share and have permissions 2 - autofs can successfully connect and see the shares 3 - it works on my PC so the names are all ok ie underscores are ok, autofs and its config is ok However when I ls -l /smb/awmelfp01/awmelsales1_backups then I get "No such file or directory" and the log shows attempting to mount entry /smb/awmelfp01 parse_mapent: parse(sun): invalid location failed to mount /smb/awmelfp01 What am I missing?
