One more piece of information: when trying to mount explicitly (without autofs)
I have the following problem:
mount -t cifs //Matsa/Pisi /mnt/matsa --verbose -o
guest,user=guest,uid=501,gid=100,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777,domain=WORKGROUP
results in
mount error: could not resolve address for Matsa: Name or service not known
No ip address specified and hostname not found
As before, smbclient //Matsa/Pisi seems to have no trouble with the IP

Hi!
I'm having trouble accessing Samba shares via autofs.
Let me begin by saying that I can access the samba shares
directly using smbclient without any trouble. For example:
smbclient //Matsa/Pisi
works fine.
I first started out by copying a config line from an older
system (redhat 7) that has in its auto.misc:
(all on one line, of course)
pisi
-fstype=smb,guest,uid=501,gid=100,username=guest,fmask=666,dmask=777
://Matsa/Pisi
On my current system this does not work:
# cd /misc/pisi
bash: cd: /misc/pisi: No such file or directory
Then, I realized there is this mechanism for dynamically
finding smb shares in the latest autofs, so I added to
auto.master
/smb /etc/auto.smb --timeout=60
and got the following results:
# ls /smb/Matsa
Hammer Matsa Pisi print$ SharedDocs Simple
# ls /smb/Matsa/Pisi
ls: cannot open directory /smb/Matsa/Pisi: No such file or
directory
None of the logs (/var/log/messages and /var/log/samba/*)
have any entries.
This is a new Fedora 11 install.
autofs version: autofs-5.0.4-38
samba version: samba-3.3.2-0.33.fc11
If it would help, here is what happens when I evoke auto.smb:
# /etc/auto.smb Matsa
-fstype=cifs \
"/Simple" "://Matsa/Simple" \
"/Matsa" "://Matsa/Matsa" \
"/SharedDocs" "://Matsa/SharedDocs" \
"/print$" "://Matsa/print\$" \
"/Pisi" "://Matsa/Pisi" \
"/Hammer" "://Matsa/Hammer"
And here are the contents of the actual file /etc/auto.smb:
#!/bin/bash
# This file must be executable to work! chmod 755!
key="$1"
opts="-fstype=cifs"
for P in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin
do
if [ -x $P/smbclient ]
then
SMBCLIENT=$P/smbclient
break
fi
done
[ -x $SMBCLIENT ] || exit 1
$SMBCLIENT -gNL $key 2>/dev/null| awk -v key="$key" -v
opts="$opts" -F'|' -- '
BEGIN { ORS=""; first=1 }
/Disk/ {
if (first)
print opts; first=0
dir = $2
loc = $2
# Enclose mount dir and location in quotes
# Double quote "$" in location as it is
special
gsub(/\$$/, "\\$", loc);
print " \\\n\t \"/" dir "\"", "\"://" key
"/" loc "\""
}
END { if (!first) print "\n"; else exit 1 }
'
I also tried adding some options to the above script:
opts="-fstype=smb,guest,uid=501,gid=100,username=guest,fmask=666,dmask=777,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777"
but it did not help.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I tried
reading the manuals and doing web searches, but couldn't
find out what I was doing wrong.
