Following a hint I found on macoshints.com , I use the following line in fstab to automount some of my servers.

backupbert:/itunes x url net,automounted,url==cifs://guest:@backupbert/itunes 0 0
This worked perfectly until I started messing around with a few things, now it stopped working After trying several things, I finally occurred to me to check Console to see what was happening.It gives the following error when the system tries to load fstab :

2/20/08 3:05:10 AM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] fstab: /etc/fstab:
2/20/08 3:05:10 AM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] Inappropriate file type or format
2/20/08 3:05:10 AM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] fstab: /etc/fstab:Inappropriate file type or format
2/20/08 3:05:10 AM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] fstab: /etc/fstab:Inappropriate file type or format
Thinking the messing around might have damaged the file somehow I deleted it and 'touch'd' a new one, put in the code, and got the same thing.

Any idea whats wrong or why the code would suddenly stop working?
What, me worry?
