I have Linux reading automount maps from my Solaris, what the problem is probably that your maps have '_' in them. In order for Linux autofs to work they must have '.'. This is the old old SunOS style. BTW you will not get it to read your auto.direct as Linux does not support that at this time. What I have done to get around the '_' was to make the map exported as auto.home along with the standard auto_home. That way both are happy and work fine. I do not know why they picked such an old autofs style to support, but those are a few work arounds. Mike
