I have a system running RHEL 5.5, and I am trying to mount a Windows share on a server using autofs. (Due to the network not being ready upon startup, I do not want to utilize fstab.) I am able to mount the shares manually, but autofs is just not mounting them.

Here are the files I am working with:

At the end of /etc/auto.master, I have:

## Mount this test share:
/test    /etc/auto.test    --timeout=60

In /etc/auto.test, I have:

test    -fstype=cifs,username=testuser,domain=domain.com,password=password ://server/test

I then restart the autofs service.

However, this does not work. ls-ing the directory does not return any results. I have followed all these guides on the web, and I either don't understand them, or they.just.don't.work.

Thank You
