Hi List,

I'm new to Linux and would appreciate some help.

My problem is that I can't get SMB shares to automount.

Some background. I have a simple peer to peer home network - 1 RH7.3 box, 2 Win98 
boxes.

Samba is configured and running. I can manually mount the shares by using either:

smbmount //server/share /mount/smb1 -o password=XXX

or

mount -t smbfs -o password=xxx //server/share /mount/smb1

Trying to automount, I have added this line to auto.master:

/mount file /etc/auto.mount --timeout 180

My auto.mount file has:

smb1 -t smbfs, -o password=XXX ://server/share

After an autofs restart, then getting the following status:

/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 180 /mount file /etc/auto.mount

Yet the share has not mounted, with the key of smb1 not being "visible". Could someone 
point me in the right direction. I have read the man pages and got some information 
via google, but I can't seem to spot the problem.

Regards,

Roland Hill
