Good bet.
It certainly does fail. The output of mount for that is now:
//xp0/C/$ on /mnt/C$ type cifs (rw,mand)
Reading ahead in the thread Jeff says "'\' is a valid character in posix
path components" which does explain this behaviour
Do you really need the \ in front of the $ when it is already quoted?
Reading ahead again I comment out the gsub in /etc/auto.smb which
changes the output from
-fstype=cifs,username=USER,password=PASS \
/C "://xp0/C" \
/ADMIN\$ "://xp0/ADMIN\$" \
/C\$ "://xp0/C\$"
to
-fstype=cifs,username=USER,password=PASS \
/C "://xp0/C" \
/ADMIN$ "://xp0/ADMIN$" \
/C$ "://xp0/C$"
Of course, it then doesn't escape $ in the offsets.
But, it looks like your script isn't up to date.
I'm fairly sure the current script should output:
-fstype=cifs,username=USER,password=PASS \
"/C" "://xp0/C" \
"/ADMIN$" "://xp0/ADMIN$" \
"/C$" "://xp0/C$"
which is why I thought we shouldn't need the "\" escapes.
Can you check your auto.smb against the one attached please, in
particular the last line at the bottom of the "/Disk/" block should be:
print " \\\n\t \"/" dir "\"", "\"://" key "/" loc "\""

Ian you are brilliant. You know your product very well. Thank you very
much for your help
I now submit my modified version of the auto.smb script. This auto.smb
script optionally supports authentication of smb/cifs shares. Only
tested under Fedora 10. Based on the original script as distributed, the
work in this thread and my own script.
#!/bin/sh
# This file must be executable to work! chmod 755!
# autofs samba script by Matthew Jurgens June 2009
# based on the original script distributed with autofs
# optionally uses authentication for smb/cifs shares
# mounts shares ending in $ successfully (Thanks to Ian Kent)
# optional authentication information
# either set it here or pass it in via the environment
# SMB_USER=
# SMB_PASSWORD
key="$1" # key comes is as something like a hostname eg matthew
if [ "$SMB_USER" ]; then
opts="-fstype=cifs,username=$SMB_USER,password=$SMB_PASSWORD"
# setup up the authentication file for smbmount
# Sept 2008
# Going to Fedora 9 smbmount no longer worked properly with the
username%password syntax
# Had to implement the auth file using the -A parameter
smbauthfile=/tmp/smbauth.tmp
echo "username=$SMB_USER" > $smbauthfile
echo "password=$SMB_PASSWORD" >> $smbauthfile
# set up the optional parameter for smbmount for using authentication
auth_part="-A $smbauthfile"
else
# set up default options - no authentication
opts="-fstype=cifs"
