OK, I've got it working, and Akemi's suggestion helped me figure it out.

This is in /etc/auto.master:

	/mnt /etc/auto.mnt

and this is in /etc/auto.mnt:

	#
	# mounts public and home shares on the NasBox.
	#
.	syno-public -fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/root/.smbcred,defaults,uid=fredex,gid=fredex,noauto,users,exec,vers=3.0 ://nasbox/public

	syno-fredex -fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/root/.smbcred,defaults,uid=fredex,gid=fredex,noauto,users,exec,vers=3.0 ://nasbox/home

trying to access /mnt/syno-fredex, then, mounts my home directory on the
Nasbox there, and access of /mnt/syno-public mounts the public share from
the Nasbox there. 

It all makes sense now.

thanks Akemi!

PS, would it be worth documenting the systemd automount feature in the
same wiki article?
