In order to view the mountpoints before they are mounted you need to have the newer version of the kernel module which is available at kernel.org. The maps aren't really specific to the type of filesystem you are trying to mount. You can get your maps from a local file, NIS, LDAP, etc. They can contain information to mount smb, nfs, or even local filesystems. If you install the newer kernel module, you can make your mountpoints visisible with the ghosting option. One way to enable this is to set it in your /etc/auto.master like: /somedir file:/etc/auto.somedir -g Or you can add the "-g" to the "daemonoptions" variable line in /etc/init.d/autofs. -Steve _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
