Description of problem: 
I've created a simple "program" map for samba shares, very much the 
same as for NFS: 
 
# cat /etc/auto.smb 
#!/bin/sh 
 
key="$1" 
smb_auth="/etc/samba/dets.auth" 
smb_opts="-fstype=smbfs,nonstrict,credentials=$smb_auth" 
 
smbclient -L $key -A $smb_auth 2>/dev/null | grep Disk | grep -v '\$' 
| sort +0 | \ 
        awk -v key="$key" -v opts="$smb_opts" -- ' 
        BEGIN           { ORS=""; first=1 } 
                        { if (first) { print opts; first=0 }; print " 
\\\n\t/" $1, "://" key "/" $1 } 
        END             { if (!first) print "\n"; else exit 1 } 
        ' 
 
For example, on host "monacan" this map produces the following 
output: 
# ./auto.smb monacan 
-fstype=smbfs,nonstrict,credentials=/etc/samba/dets.auth \ 
        /dets ://monacan/dets \ 
        /public ://monacan/public 
 
However, this doesn't work as expected: 
$ ls -l /smb/monacan 
ls: /smb/monacan: No such file or directory 
 
Log attached (mount_with_colon.txt) 
 
Probably this is the problem: 
dequote("://monacan/dets") -> ://monacan/dets 
I think to work without the problem it should be: 
dequote("://monacan/dets") -> //monacan/dets 
 
(":" should be removed). 
 
On the other hand, in the Internet are some examples (i.e. 
http://www.greenfly.org/tips/autofs.html) of a bit different syntax 
for automount map, without a colon: 
# ./auto.smb monacan 
-fstype=smbfs,nonstrict,credentials=/etc/samba/dets.auth \ 
        /dets //monacan/dets \ 
        /public //monacan/public 
 
After such change (that is AGAINST the documentated in the man pages) 
mounting doesn't work either. 
 
Log attached (mount_without_colon.txt) 
 
In this case parsing of the mount is completely broken, autofs 
doesn't see different shares, treats them as one... :-( 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
autofs-4.1.2-2 
 
How reproducible: 
Always 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Create provided /etc/auto.smb script. 
2. mkdir /smb 
3. add "/smb    /etc/auto.smb  --timeout=60" to /etc/auto.master 
4. service autofs restart 
5. ls -l /smb/<your samba host> 
 
 
Expected Results:  I think that automount is expected to mount samba 
shares given the first syntax (with ":"). Or with second, but in this 
case man pages should be fixed. Anyway, one or both of this methods 
should work...
