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.
