seems like autofs does not accept a host=iceman
while calling a file:/filename submount
why not a -Dprefix=& instead of a -Dhost=&

anyway I was'nt able to make it work myself with this kind of map.
note that if all works as documented,
you can only mount
host:/dir
volumes and not
host:/dir/subdir
or further
host:/dir/subdir/subsubdir/subsubsubdir
I've made program map that use
showmount -e to explore mount point hierarchy
and dynamically mount any
/net/host/dir/subdir/subsubdir/and-so-on
/net/host/dir/subdir/subsubdir/and-even-this
/net/host/dir/subdir/and-even/that
It is kindly hosted at:
http://www.paralline.net/projets/autofs_slashnet/index.en.html
quickly written but works.
(also include SMB automount)
there is also a autofs patch done by
Jeremy Fitzhardinge [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
(Patches are available at http://www.goop.org/~jeremy/autofs.)
that allow tree mount
(map may return a list and a tree is build accordingly)...
He have presented it in this mailing list earlier.
