I found that with the debian autofs init script (/etc/init.d/autofs), the timeout option wasn't parsed properly unless it was specified like so (YMMV): /.autofs /etc/auto.misc timeout=600 (I'm running potato, but have the autofs package from unstable installed, because I was trying to figure out why the timeout wasn't working and had upgraded first to see if that would work. It didn't, but the above did. I don't know if the above will work with the potato version because I didn't try it.) My auto.master looks like: /auto /etc/auto.floppy timeout=1 /var/autofs/misc /etc/auto.cds timeout=2 Where /etc/auto.floppy contains the floppy-disk line from the original /etc/auto.misc, and the /etc/auto.cds the cdrom lines (I have 2 cdrom drives). I still have the auto.misc file sitting there, but it's not referenced anywhere. Note that I have the automounter mounting to two different directories. The automounter wouldn't work properly for me if instructed to mount both to the same directory. This doesn't matter much though, because you just use symlinks to put the access directory in a more convenient place, as you've done with the /Win98 symlink below. > > /etc/auto.misc > win98 -fstype=vfat :/dev/hdb1 > > ln -s /Win98 /.autofs/win98 Matthew
