$ ls /net $ ls /net/sun-cm comm_netrac2/ local/ $ ls /net sun-cm/ As you see -- it works. I'm using slackware-8.1, but it should not matter. I think what I did after installing slackware was somewhat like this: - Configure the kernel for autofs-4 (the autofs-3 option should be off!) (I don't use modules..) Of course you also need to configure NFS support.. - Download and compile autofs-4 (compile the kernel and autofs with gcc-2.95, not with gcc 3.x, it seems to make a difference in this case.) - Copy the resulting automount binary over the original one in /usr/sbin - Copy the file autofs.net from autofs-4 to /etc - As root, type: /usr/sbin/automount /net program /etc/auto.net & (Or write that command in one of your startup scripts) At this point it should be working.. This last step I could probably improve, but it works..
