Nope - trust me, it works... The doco you are reading is a) old b) irrelevant to what you are trying to achieve. It is referring to accessing a samba server from Windows. Can you pleasee the mount.cifs command I specified in my previous email? You need to get some form of file level access working before you worry about autofs. You could also try using smbclient: # list shared smbclient -L servername -U u...@domain # connect to a share and give you an interactive shell to browse smbclient //servername/share -U u...@domain Report back how these tests goes (preferablly mount.cifs since that's how you need it to work in the end).
