I took the auto.smb from CentOS 6.2 and modified it slightly to cater for my Win 7 env at work. Same script, works on CentOS by visiting /smb/<host>/<share>. On Slackware 14, it doesn't work UNTIL autofs is restarted manually after bootup. And from then on, it just works like a charm.
I think the issue lies in autofs being started too early in rc.M? Has anyone seen this problem before?
Another thing is, the script can't handle default shares well, e.g. C$. Anyone's got a solution on this?
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# This file must be executable to work! chmod 755!
key="$1"
credfile="${HOME}/.auto.smb.$USER"
[ "x$GROUP" == "x" ] || grpopt=",gid=$GROUP"
opts="-fstype=cifs,nosuid,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775,uid=$USER,sec=ntlm"$grpopt
for P in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin
do
if [ -x $P/smbclient ]
then
SMBCLIENT=$P/smbclient
break
fi
done
[ -x $SMBCLIENT ] || exit 1
if [ -e "$credfile" ]; then
opts=$opts",credentials=$credfile"
smbclientopts="-d 2 -A "$credfile
else
smbclientopts="-N"
fi
$SMBCLIENT $smbclientopts -gL $key 2>/dev/null \
| awk -v key="$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);
gsub(/\&/,"\\\\&",loc)
print " \\\n\t \"/" dir "\"", "\"://" key "/" loc "\""
}
END { if (!first) print "\n"; else exit 1 }

It starts before wicd or networkmanager. But even so, I thought it only mounted drives or points when needed. So, until you have someone or something actively trying to access a file on an autofs moount, it really should make no difference. Having said that though, it will be trivial to cut+paste the code and move it lower down and see how it goes. That's the great thing about Slackware - you can fiddle. Please report back on your findings. If you're right, I guess it will be moved down "officially".
