autofs and dollar sign in hidden NT volumes

autofs and dollar sign in hidden NT volumes

[Xisco Fernández]

Hello list,

I'm having some sort of problem w/ automount. I'm trying to automount
hidden windows volumes (volume$), but the dollar sign isn't being
recognized by autofs.

I am able to mount that share manually with mount.smbfs.
I am able to mount other non hidden shares with automount.

It's not a credentials problem:

auto.master:

/mnt/auto       /etc/auto.sgil --timeout=2

auto.sgil:

cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
sgil  -fstype=smbfs,username=ruben,password=tosidad,codepage=cp850 
://192.168.2.57/SGIL$


LOG:

May 11 17:35:26 localhost automount[20971]: >> 20973: tree connect 
failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name)

May 11 17:35:26 localhost automount[20971]: failed to mount /mnt/auto/sgil

Thanks in advanced.

Have you tried escaping the $?
It has special meaning to autofs.
