I'm using autofs-4.0.0pre10 on Red Hat Linux release 7.1.

It seems that if some directories from a server are not exported to
the client, the whole /net mount fails even though some are.

# cd /net/server.my.little.secret/linux
/net/server.my.little.secret/linux: No such file or directory.

# tail /var/log/messages
Apr 23 13:27:31 tel03 automount[1481]: attempting to mount entry
/net/server.my.little.secret
Apr 23 13:27:32 tel03 automount[1714]: >> mount:
server.my.little.secret:/dec failed, reason given by server: Permission
denied
Apr 23 13:27:32 tel03 automount[1714]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure
server.my.little.secret:/dec on /net/nfs-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/dec

So because /dec is a `subscription channel' on the server, I can't go to
/linux either.

Pete.
