Hi all,

According to the automounter, autofs man pages, Linux does not support direct 
maps.  So I've constructed an indirect map like this:


auto.master:
        /usr/net        auto.net

auto.net:
        *       -fstype=nfs     martin:/usr/net/&

For some reason this does not work, yet, if I change auto.master to read:

        /auto           auto.net

and auto.net to read:
        net     -fstype=nfs     martin:/usr/net/&

Things work fine.  so, it seems that I cannot use mountpoints that are not off 
the root directory.  Is this correct?  It seems bizarre that this would be the 
case.  Anyone doing anything like this? 

Oh, machine specs:

        Server:         RH6.0
                        yp-tools-2.2-1
                        ypbind-3.3-20
                        ypserv-1.3.6.91-1
                        autofs-3.1.3-2

        Client:         RH6.0
                        yp-tools-2.3-2
                        ypbind-3.3-24
                        ypserv-1.3.7-3
                        autofs-3.1.3-9

I don't think the diffences in yp* stuff should cause this type of problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
