Samba Shares Using AutoFS

Hi Gang used the tut:
http://www.howtoforge.com/accessing_windows_or_samba_shares_using_autofs

ut am confused with what to replace:
You need to modify the line defining the mountopts above and change user to the name of your personal account name.

In the tutorial you have the line

Code:

mountopts="-fstype=cifs,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,uid=[B][COLOR="Red"]user[/COLOR][/B],gid=users"

Replace user with your actual username.

 

I'm also having some problems using AutoFS from Debian Etch
I followed the tutorial from http://www.howtoforge.com/accessing_windows_or_samba_shares_using_autofs

I hope somebody notices what I did wrong. Here's what I did:

I created a user (for example: User4) on the win2003 machine. I created a dir and shared it (for example: C:\Share) granting the User4 full read+write access, also under the security tab.

I created /etc/auto.cifs and placed the script mentioned on the page above in there. I replaced uid=user with uid=User4

I created /etc/auto.smb.WINBOX and also /etc/audo.smb.WINBOX.DOMAIN.LOCAL and in both files I added:

Code:

username=User4
password=secret

When I run ls -als /cifs/WINBOX then I get to see all my share dirs on the windows machine. But when I run ls -als /cifs/WINBOX/Share it says: No such file or directory. And at the same time the console from wich I run the command is showing:

Code:

CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
CIFS VFS: No username specified

When I noticed that it didn't work I also tried using the script that was edited by davek (also mentioned on the same page) that looked like this:

Code:

$SMBCLIENT $smbclientopts -gL $key 2>/dev/null \
   | awk -v key="$key" -v opts="$mountopts" -F'|' -- '
        BEGIN   { ORS=""; first=1 }
        /Disk/  { if (first) { print opts; first=0 };
                  gsub(/ /, "\\ ", $2);
                  sub(/\$/, "\\$", $2);
                  print " \\\n\t /" $2, "://" key "/" $2 }
        END     { if (!first) print "\n"; else exit 1 }
        '

Same results though :-(
Any ideas?
