seems to have resolved the problem. i added the nosharecache option and restarted the daemon. then was able to su to the affected and unaffected accounts and get the mounts. the really cool thing was, i was able to do, "/etc/init.d/autofs restart" while a couple of users were logged in and it actually restarted. I was not able to do that with autofs4, it would pretty much hang. i will monitor it for a few days to verify all is well. many thanks > Ian > -- Jim Summers School of Computer Science-University of Oklahoma ------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
