I finally found the problem. If I tried to address a server which had certain shares not open to me, the automounter failed completely. I fixed it by 'grepping' the fully open shares, and the ones to me out in auto.net. Thanks again Guy

There are several ways to acomplish this. The SuSE default automounter setup already is prepared to access such devices as /misc/cd, /misc/floppy. Besides setting up autofs, you only need to uncomment rsp. add the lines to the automounter maps you need. Eg.:
From /etc/auto.master: /misc /etc/auto.misc
From /etc/auto.misc: cd -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/scd0 floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0

Hmmm, strange program. :-) I haven't done this in Linux, but in HP-UX this is done by editing your /etc/auto.master (or your auto.master master map if you use NIS) and add this line: /net -hosts -soft (In fact this is the default content of the file in HP-UX, but never mind...) You could check out whether this behaviour is supported under Linux as well. Anyway, the man page for auto.master(5) is a good place to start looking for a solution. <p>---J.T.U.

Create /etc/auto.master file for each client (or spread the information with NIS). Something like: /net /etc/auto.maps/net 2. Create /etc/auto.maps/net with auto-mount points you need and nfs servers: erver1 server1:/dir_contained_path server2 server2:/dir_contained_path ...... The best way is to create auto.maps NIS map and spread it by NIS. I'm using nfs share and mount /etc/auto.maps at boot time on each client. In the last case make sure that you run rcautofs AFTER mounting /etc/auto.maps 3. Update /etc/exports file for each server (It seems to be already done) 4.Enjoy! <p><p><p><p>GVS> Kind regards GVS> Guy <p><p><p><p><p><p> -- Best regards, Sergey Melnykov mailto:smel@radical.ca
