I use autofs all the time to mount my home directory without any problem. Just out of curiosity did you uncomment in /etc/auto.master auto.misc? -- Joseph Loo [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am running opensuse 10.3 and rcautofs does not exixt on my system at all. I do not understand what you are talking about. I did a man rcautofs and id does not shown up nor is it in my /sbin. I usually start autofs up by doing /etc/init.d/autofs start It looks like you have not installed the drivers properly. I would first suggest that you start posting the /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.misc files first. another thing you are asking about the memory stick aut mounts. You again need to mention which desktop. I run gnome and it automounts the various items with no problem. Which version of opensuse are you using? -- Joseph Loo [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It used to work with mine from openSuSE 10.1 BUT after 10.2 and 10.3 haven't got any luck having my USB devices auto mounted > Which version of opensuse are you using?
