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.conf: English text Makefile.conf.in: English text Makefile.rules: English text NEWS: International language text README: English text README.options: English text TODO: English text aclocal.m4: English text config.log: English text config.status: Bourne shell script text configure: Bourne shell script text configure.in: English text daemon: directory include: 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. - Derek
