I sorta got /net to work by using autofs4 and editing
my /etc/modules.conf to add:

alias autofs autofs4

autofs4 includes:

/net    /etc/auto.net   --timeout=60

in the /etc/auto.master.

But then the automounting of the users drives didn't
work (the old autofs script handled that).

So then I edited my auto.master to include:

/users auto.users

but for some reason I have to restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs to get the users drives
automounted and the /net functionality (If I reboot
the users drives are not automounted).

I also noticed that /net doesn't work with my HPUX
boxes for some (NFS protocol?) reason. Works with
Linux, Solaris and AIX though.

Thanks!

Cheers
