hi liande
assuming you have a simple network...

change your fred:/etc/auto.master on the linux box to:
/.autofs /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60
mkdir /.autofs to create the directory
> # /etc/auto.direct
> /sca -soft,intr umax:/sca
change your fred:/auto.misc
sca -fstype=nfs,soft,intr umax:/sca
-- retart autofs
-- ls -la /.autofs/sca should show you stuff on umax
have fun
