I am trying to get BackupPC working with automount as documented in
this CentOS HowTo:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC
I think my CentOS6 box's NetBIOS name resolving is not working
correctly as when I try to access the mount for Win7 machine called
Parallels I get this:
[root@au ~]# ls /windows
ls: cannot access /windows/parallels: No such file or directory
parallels
[root@au ~]# cd /windows/parallels
-bash: cd: /windows/parallels: No such file or directory
and I cannot ping the Win7 machine with its NetBIOS name:
[root@au ~]# ping parallels
ping: unknown host parallels
If I add "wins" at the end of the hosts section in /etc/nsswitch.conf
the resolver seems to get "stuck" as after ping it just hangs (there
is no output, I have to quit it with CTRL+C)
smbclient seems to work though:
[root@au ~]# smbclient -L parallels -U Administrator
Enter Administrator's password:
Domain=[PARALLELS] OS=[Windows 7 Professional 7601 Service Pack 1]
Server=[Windows 7 Professional 6.1]

Why does the "wins" option not work in nsswitch.conf?
What should I do to get automount working with CentOS + Win7 shares?

Peter
