I wanted my SMB share to automount on my Macbook running OSX Yosemite.
It should have been easier than this to set this up but its a Mac.
First create a shares directory somewhere underneath your home folder. I had endless permissions troubles when placing it elsewhere.
mkdir ~/shares
Next edit /etc/auto_master
# /etc/auto_master
## Automounter master map
#
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers -fstab
# Insert this line
/Users/my_username/shares auto_smb # WARNING: Whatever folder you choose here will be completely overwritten
/- -static
Now we need to setup the auto_smb script. Create a new file at /etc/auto_smb
# /etc/auto_smb
my_share_name -fstype=smbfs ://username:password@192.168.1.4/my_share_name
Lastly set the permission & reload.
# Set scripts permissions
sudo chmod 600 /etc/auto_smb
# Reload auto_master config
sudo automount -vc
