Hello,

I just compiled automounter support in my Linux 2.0.36 kernel.  Then, I
downloaded, compiled, and installed the files from
ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/daemons/autofs.

After restarting everything, I tried to do the following:

1. Create mount point /test
2. Edit /etc/auto.master to include the following:
    /test    /etc/auto.test
3. Edit /etc/auto.test to include the following:
    host:/test /test nfs rw 0 0
4. Confirm that /test is exported via NFS on host.

I assume this should allow a local mountpoint /test to automount the
/test subdirectory on 'host'.  I started the autofs daemon, and I got
the following:

[root@cheese]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs reload
Checking for changes to /etc/auto.master ....
Start /usr/sbin/automount  /test file /etc/auto.test

Now, when I go into /test, I get nothing.  Shouldn't /test automount
machine:/test?
