hi
why is grun exporting home2 to wax and wax is exporting home to grun ?
> Wax's auto.master file contains other than comments:

> # Sample auto.master file

> /home /etc/auto.home
Make sure that /home is not the system /home or you'll lose
all the defaults stuff that came with teh distribution
/home/{httpd,ftp,gopher}
you might consider /.home /etc/auto.home for your auto.master file
> The auto.home file is, missing comments:

so far so good...

not sure about this entry

shouldn't that be /etc/auto.home in order to find the file ???
not sure that +auto.master is supported feature

not sure that +auto.master is supported feature
try using:
home -fstype=nfs wax:/home

probably needed /etc/auto.home entry in the auto.master file
