mark-
no, it is not an error on your part that you run slackware. :> i've
attached an autofs script that i've written to work with slackware. the
script assumes that automount is installed in /usr/local/sbin. if it
isn't, edit the 3rd line[DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/automount] of the script
setting the correct location.
