Sorry everyone.  Perhaps I'm not being very clear here.  Basically, hierarchical entries in the maps that only are one directory deep work.  More than that croak.  Thus given:

/etc/auto.master:
    /dir    /etc/auto.dir
/etc/auto.dir
 d2  \
  /x    machine:/x \
/y/z machine:/y/z
The entry for mount point /dir/d2/x would work, while the entry for /dir/d2/y/z fails.  

Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks,

J

hi ya jonathan

I've uninstalled autofs (3 as comes with RH) and installed autofs-4 
(autofs-4.0.0pre10-1). I've aliased autofs4 to autofs in modules.conf.
Clearly autofs is basically working in that I can now do hierarchical
mounts, thus:

yes... first thing to do is fix redhat so that it works...
and especially tighten security on it
( usually lots of things are broken out of the box )

boreas -rw,hard,intr \
/disk1 boreas:/mydisks/disk1 \
/disk2 boreas:/mydisks/disk2

Works. However, I'm trying to get the auto_net map to work, and I'm
having problems. I've nailed down the problem to the fact that maps
with multi-level mount points fail. Thus:

boreas -rw,hard,intr \
/mydisks/home boreas:/mydisks/home

Fails. Since most machines export disks more than one directory deep
(e.g. /export/stuff) this will kill auto_net, since
/net/host/export/stuff would fail. Anyone know why this is dying for
me? It's critical to get this up to move forward.

maybe i am missing something but i am assuming that boreas
is exporting /mydisks/disk1, /mydisks/disk2 and /mysidks/home

and all that should all work ...

all machines should be able to see all three dir tree on breaas...

thanx
alvin
