This map (auto.net) is called "indirect". If you want to have /home itself automounted, you won't get anywhere with indirect maps, because that would mean that / had to be governed by an automount daemon. Have a look at /usr/share/doc/autofs/README.direct and pay attention to the warnings at the bottom of it. When everything is set up, don't forget to edit /etc/default/autofs in order to switch off DISABLE_DIRECT. Regards, Jan signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: autofs and /home/home
Hi, In your config, /etc/auto.master: /home /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60 This should be fine ... /etc/auto.misc: home-fstype=nfs,hard,intr 1.2.3.4:/home But, this line should be * -fstype=nfs,hard,intr 1.2.3.4:/home/& I've a similar setup and it's working just fine. -- - Shashishekhar S Consultant - Debian GNU/Linux Remote Administration, Deployments Mail Services, Tips and Tricks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: autofs and /home/home
Couldn't you just edit the /etc/fstab? Maybe I'm missing something but if you put an entry for your device in the /etc/fstab it should automatically mount it and put it in the right folder.

autofs and /home/home
Config: Debian/etch I can't seem to figure out a *very* simple automount configuration (I've done this before, but it was over two years ago :-( ). After much work (and not enough understanding!), I have succeed in automounting a remote /home directory on a local client using 'autofs'. Unfortunately, the mounted directory on the client is under /home/home instead of /home. Here are the two key lines on the client: /etc/auto.master: /home /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60 /etc/auto.misc: home-fstype=nfs,hard,intr 1.2.3.4:/home Can someone help me to have the remote /home on the server show up as just /home on the client? Any other suggestions and/or comments are most welcomed ...
