I am looking for document ion on how to use auto.smb. I turned it on
through the auto mounter and was able to see remote shares, just not access
them. I can do "ls /smb/nas" and get a list of shares. However I can not
access those shares. I have read the man page for mount.cifs. It says to
set environment variable called USER and PASSWD. I have set both. I am
able to mount via mount -t cifs ... Is there something I am missing? I
have googled this and am having a hard time finding information on it. The
idea is mount the CIFS share as the user who tried to access it. It would
nice if it works more like NFS in that UIDs would get mapped correctly.
Maybe after I get this working I will change auto.smb to mount shares to
/smb/<hostname>/<user name> for many people can mount the same share but
with their credentials.

Suppose you are trying to mount //winbox/sharename, add this line (note it is
one line) to the autofs map file.
winbox -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,user=zzzzz,pass=xxxxxx,workgroup=yyyy
://winbox/sharename
This setup has been working for a long time. However, one of our Fedora Core
machines started having a system crash problem as soon as the kernel was
updated to 2.6.18. Thinking it was a kernel-related issue, I submitted a bug
to RedHat but Dave Jones stated it was a bug in nvidia. I then reported to
nvidia forum but this went unanswered. Finally, I sent a bug report to the
samba/cifs bugzilla because the system does not crash as far as I do not do
any cifs mount. Steve French pickup up my bug report and is looking at it
now.
I believe there's an issue with the latest batch of kernels and handling
mounting of directories with lots of files in using cifs. they mount ok,
but as soon as you try and access anything in them you get "Invalid
argument"

Not sure if that's anything to do with it, but it could be...
