Normally we'd expect to see something like this in an auto.master map:
/net -hosts -nobrowse,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse
The -hosts built-in map uses the mount protocol to derive a list of
exports (as Bill did with showmount) and it'll mount the whole
hierarchy if you touch all the triggers, i.e. it'll mount "/backup"
then "/backup/download". For some reason, it appears that
the /net map on the client isn't working at all. Bill, is there
an autofs mount on /net ?
I wouldn't normally expect hierarchical home directory mounts
unless the map entry in auto_home is specifically configured
to provide it, e.g.
shannon \
/ nissan:/export/home/shannon \
/stuff nissan:/export/home/shannon/stuff
However, normally you should expect /home to be set up
with the username rather than the hostname as the key, e.g.
you should be trying to access "/home/shannon" or somesuch
rather than "/home/nissan".
