Description of problem:
Hi,

I've just upgraded to Fedora Core 2, and the autofs has changed from
3.1.7 to 4.1.2.
Previously, I would automount Windows shares using an auto.smb file
with an entry:

myshare 
-fstype=smbfs,username=mydomain\\myuserid,password=insecure,uid=500,gid=500,fmask=775
://winsvr/myshare

In the new autofs 4.1.2 package, the above entry provokes a bug which
was not present before.
Windows requires the username to be of the form:

    mydomain\myuserid

The problem is that the new autofs strips ALL backslashes from the
options, and supplies
mount.smb with:

    username=mydomainmyuserid

The attached patch fixes this, but I would suggest someone more
familiar with the package
review it, since I have not analysed the source to any great depth.

Regards,
    George Hansper


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-4.1.2-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a share on a Windows domain

2. Add /etc/auto.smb to /etc/auto.master:
   /smb    /etc/auto.smb   --timeout=3600 -d

3. Add an entry for the windows share to /etc/auto.smb
myshare 
-fstype=smbfs,username=mydomain\\myuserid,password=insecure,uid=500,gid=500,fmask=775
://winsvr/myshare

4. Try to access /smb/myshare:
     ls /smb/myshare

    

Actual Results:  ls: /smb/myshare: No such file or directory

and in /var/log/messages:

Jul 14 12:12:34 georgeh automount[23932]: attempting to mount entry

Expected Results:  Listing of directory (Widows share)

Additional info:

Mounting from the command line works.
