I'm trying to set up autofs on my laptop, to automatically mount/dismount my
desktop's Samba/SMB shares. I'm following this guide:
http://www.howtoforge.com/accessing_windows_or_samba_shares_using_autofs
though from what I can tell the same script and similar instructions are in
many places on the net.
The script defines $key:
key="$1"
then defines credfile:
credfile="/etc/auto.smb.$key"
It needs to be a valid filename. The web page says I should
,--
| create a file called
|
| /etc/auto.smb.FILESERVERNAME
|
| for each computer you want to access.
'--
OK, so credfile needs to end with the servername (in my case, "pc") for that
to match. But when the script runs, $key gets server/share (in my case
"pc/mp3") which makes credfile "/etc/auto.smb.pc/mp3" which is an illegal
filename.
Later on the script runs
$SMBCLIENT $smbclientopts -gL $key
I checked the man page for smbclient and didn't find "-g". And "-L" needs a
servername. So is $key wrongly defined, maybe it should be ${1%*}?
