Subject[P] making smbfs's actually work (automount)
After struggling to get smbfs automounts to work, I finally found the
error (after just sitting down and reading all the source).

The parse_sun routines were incorrectly identifying entries like
//server/resource as being a "multipath entry".

Here's the patch, against version 0.3.12. If this has been fixed in a
later version, I apologize.

[btw, I've subscribed to this list only today, and as of today and
yesterday, kernel.org was down. So I'm cc'ing this to the linux-kernel
list at vger as a safety guard - ( though, giggle, vger seems to be having
trouble this weekend, too ) ]
