What exactly is the advantage of using autofs over an entry or entries in /etc/fstab ? I've always used autofs for mounting a remote directory, but on going over to Fedora-14 I decided to read the documentation on this, eg <http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ar01s04.html#mounting_remote_dirs> and now I'm not sure why I have been using autofs. Incidentally, the sample /etc/auto.master in Fedora-14 ends with the line +auto.master but I've been unable to find any explanation of this. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
