Say I have a 200GB drive in the system for a central shared filestore, mounted as /data. I have this shared via Samba on the network. I want this to be available as /home/users/lpeet/data (for each user in /home/users) so it can be accessed via FTP as well. > I haven't tried this so I'm not sure it will work. > Give it a try.

The chroot environment isn't system wide - it's only in place when connecting through FTP. Do you still think that will affect the path? > Note that it can't work with anything less than 4.1.4 for the : escape to > work in multi-maps.

So...does this mean that since there's only one mapping, using a wildcard, that if say one user logs in, access the directory, that automount will mount the directory for every user or just the user that requested it to be mounted? At the same time, if the timeout occurs for one user, will it unmount the directory for all the users? Or will it leave the directory mounted for all the users and wait until the last user has stopped accessing it, and unmount it for all the users at that time?
