Not valid in auto.master. An indirect map must have keys that are a directory component only, that is no "/"s. So, in auto.master you can have: /home auto.home and auto.home as: * srv1:/export/home/& to mount /home/myname as srv1:/export/home/myname You could leave out the "&" but I'm not sure that would be useful. > > Firstly is this actually possible?

If its possible ...what have I missed to > get this working? No, not possible with version 4. Single level indirect maps aren't possible by definition. Single level direct maps are possible with version 5. So, in auto.master you could have: /- auto.home and auto.home: /home svr1:/export/home /other/dir other:/export/other and the like.
