--- Begin Message ---Package:autofs Version:5.0.7-3 Regarding auto.master.d The documentation for how to use the 'auto.master.d' feature is really non-existing. What exists is a sketch from the designer for what it is (or how it should be.) Fedora 18 is sketchy about how it should be deployed. Some sites has a puppet config for deploying autofs in a cluster. As a trial-and-error (intent was to replace '/home /etc/auto.home') i have tried theese variations: /etc/auto.master.d/home.autofs /etc/auto.master.d/auto.home /etc/auto.master.d/net2.autofs with content: ----- /net2 -hosts ----- as far as i can see i was unsuccessfull at making autofs acknowledge theese.

The contents of files under given directory are included to the master map. The name of file to be included must be ended with ".autofs". A file will be ignored if its name is not ended with the suffix. In addition a dot file, a file which name is started with "." is also ignored. -- Sam Morris <https://robots.org.uk/> CAAA AA1A CA69 A83A 892B 1855 D20B 4202 5CDA 27B9
