[Tfug] Need help troubleshooting autofs problems

[Glen Pfeiffer]

I am setting up my wife's desktop with autofs to mount a samba 
share. I can manually mount the share with smbmount, but it is 
not mounting with autofs, and I do not see any errors.

I am using this same setup successfully on another machine.

1. Does anybody have any experience with autofs that might help?
2. Can anyone point me to some other logs that might help?

I noticed the "autofs getmounts" output is different on this 
machine than the other.
	> /var/shared program ....
The other machine has "file" instead of program. I do not know 
what that's about either, but I have searched.

Here is all the relevant info that I know of:
