I notice my logwatch contains the lines --------------------- Automount Begin ------------------------ Failed Startups: /net 1 Time(s) /misc 1 Time(s) **Unmatched Entries** failed to mount autofs path /net: 1 Time(s) failed to mount autofs path /misc: 1 Time(s) ---------------------- Automount End ------------------------- Why is autofs trying to mount these directories?
