hi jim
doesnt that work ???
what is in your equivalent auto.misc
( i assume you can manually mount it to those directories )
thanx
alvin
am thinking the following will work as you desire..
/etc/auto.master
/.autofs /etc/auto.test --timeout 600
/etc/auto.test
....
perl server:/perl
squash desktop:/squash
admsuite frogger:/admquite
than as root...make some workaround symlinks..
ln -s /.autofs/per /usr/local/src/perl
ln -s /.autofs/squash /usr/local/src/LOCAL
ln -s /.autofs/admsquite /usr/local/src/LOCAL
ls -la /usr/local/src/perl
- should work...
see /var/log/messages if it doesnt...
