True, I would like to get working through the auto.smb. The idea is to not keep track of a users password. I suspect auto.smb is there is a reason, I would like to know how to use it. I appreciate your suggestions though. - Jamie <div>On 11/8/06, A Yagi <<a href="mailto:ayagi@scripps.edu">ayagi@scripps.edu</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Jamie Bohr wrote: > auto.smb is a script not a regular auto mounter file.

You can achieve this by the method I suggested. In /etc/auto.master, define the directory you want to mount your CIFS share like: /smb /etc/auto.winshare In /etc/auto.winshare you have a line like: winbox -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,user=zzzzz,pass=xxxxxx,workgroup=yyyy ://winbox/sharename When you do a ls /smb/winbox, the remote share gets mounted on /smb by autofs. It works like nfs automount.
