Trying to get my head around plain autofs before I attempt ldap I can nfs mount via /etc/fstab... #srv1:/home/storage/users /home/storage/users nfs user,suid,dev,exec 0 0 It's commented out and not presently mounted why doesn't this work? (comments removed) # cat auto.master /net /etc/auto.net /home/storage/users /etc/auto.misc # cat auto.misc cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom /home/storage/users -fstype=nfs srv1:/home/storage/users # service autofs restart Stopping automount: [ OK ] Starting automount: [ OK ] # ls -l /home/storage/users total 0 it should show all user files Why doesn't this work? I've been through every man page, etc. Craig
