Hello,
I’ve created a construction which adds an
“autofs managed network mountpoint” to the homedirectory.
It looks like:
/home/sbon/Global Network/Windows Network/
…Workgroup/
…HostA/
…share1/
…share2/
…share3/
…HostB/
…share4/
…share5/
…FTP/
…192.168.0.1/
…ftp.kernel.org/
…SSH/
…192.168.0.2/
This goes completely automatic, the tree is built automatic, the mountpoint is added automatically when a session starts.
Now autofs does allow per share mounting, which means that a share is only mounted when entered.
My construction already supports FTP, SSH and SMB.
IPX and NFS should also be possible.
For SMB, cifs is used, which supports far more features of the SMB/CIFS network than the kioslaves/Gnome VFS, like ACL’s, inotify, oplocks and various security protocols like Kerberos.
I’ve created a website about this:

Anybody interested?? Through this construction integration in smb networks = Windows networks is better and easier.
Please let me know, also if you think this is not so good at all.
