I apologize for asking very basic questions regarding autofs.  I have
been referred to the docs, but am unable to find them.  I downloaded
autofs-3.1.3.tar.gz, and get the following:

COPYING:                 English text
COPYRIGHT:               English text
Makefile:                English text

Makefile.rules:          English text

daemon:                  directory

man:                     directory
modules:                 directory
multiserver_mount.patch: C program text

The README files give some basic information, but nothing too detailed.
I did not see any detailed documentation.  If someone can tell me where
the docs can be found, I will definitely be gainfully employed for a
while, and will hopefully be more self-sufficient.

With the help of H. Peter Anvin, and Theo Van Dinter, I have
automounting working with NFS and local filesystems, and am currently
working on SMB.  I believe I have the syntax ok, but I need to find out
if the automounter will forward the request for a password when mounting
a password protected share.

Again, thank you for your help so far.

The filesystem is called "smbfs".  This is also in the docs.
