On a fresh install of natty, I was trying to automount a SMB share.
Following the documentation, I was still unable to get the share to
mount (kept failing with various messages: No username...
or
mount wrong fs type)
In researching this problem I came across a reference to smbfs.
Once I installed smbfs, things started working.
I suggest that a dependency for smbfs be added to the autofs
package.
@Ron, Thanks for raising this bug.
Setting importance to low as it has an easy work around.
This issue still needs to be reproduced to be confirmed, thanks.
