Automounting not working correctly for CIFS shares; weird results
Base on the above question, my issue is that my samba/cifs password do have '*' and '&' characters which point me to the lines:
if [ -e "$credfile" ] then opts=$opts",credentials=$credfile" smbclientopts="-A "$credfile what would be the correct way to escape the password? in the credfile
username='user' password='*pass&word?Secure' this way fail
username=user password=\*pass\&word\?Secure or fix the " smbclientopts="-A "$credfile "
thanks for the comments.

BTW, my local DNS do add searchdomain = localdomain and DNS do resolve IPv4 both "host" and "host.localdomain"
