Thank you for your reply. I'm using autofs because my system is stripped down. I'm not running any GUI's. It's all command lines for me. Only esseintial services and apps were installed. I did the same thing under Fedora 5 and didn't have any problems. Perhaps, I'm missing a service that autofs needs???
