Just to be clear, is root mounting this directory (as you write here) or 
using cd to get to that directory as you describe at the top? It's not 
clear to me which of the two you mean and it does make a difference 
because you can't cd to a directory in a partition that's not mounted. 
(Assuming the mount point exists, of course, you can cd to that, but 
under normal circumstances it will be empty.) 




Root can manually mount the directory ie mount -t cifs -o user=xxx,password=yyy [ UNC] [TARGET] 


A mortal user cannot cd, nor can root same results in /var/log/messages depending upon value of sec in /etc/auto.cifs. Yes, auto.cifs is mentioned in auto.master 


/cifs /etc/auto.cifs -timeout=30
