Oh, I thought that you were using the auto.net script to automount using machine names. What exactly are you doing, and which OS are you using? The auto.net script is found in the tarball. In it, you can specify whether or not to use the symlink for the local machine. The /net directory uses the hostname to mount all of the directories exported from that machine. Thus /net/machine1 will look for the exports from machine1. If machine1 is exporting /home, you would find the /net/machine1/home directory. You can do this for the local machine, and the nosymlink will mount the directories under the /net/hostname hierarchy. Forrest
