I was able to get it working but I don't have rw on the files in the
mounts. How to I get that working?

My /etc/auto.master is:
#
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.3 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $
#
# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
/auto   /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60

My /etc/auto.misc is:
#
# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $
#
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage

cd              -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom

# the following entries are samples to pique your imagination
#linux          -ro,soft,intr           ftp.example.org:/pub/linux
#boot           -fstype=ext2            :/dev/hda1
#floppy         -fstype=auto            :/dev/fd0
#floppy         -fstype=ext2            :/dev/fd0
#e2floppy       -fstype=ext2            :/dev/fd0
#jaz            -fstype=ext2            :/dev/sdc1
#removable      -fstype=ext2            :/dev/hdd
tweety   -fstype=smbfs,rw,username=me,password=pass
://192.168.1.20/tweetyroot

Other than that this would work for me. I tried giving my uid ownership
of /auto, but when the mount gets mounted root is own and group owner. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks,
James
