It's in /etc/auto.master I'm expecting my cdrom to mount to /mnt/cdrom. I have the same rules for other drives. When mounted, the cdrom would be on /mnt/cdrom/cdrom. Kind of strange naming but should still work. My /etc/nsswitch.conf file contains the following. I removed the comments. passwd: files shadow: files group: files hosts: files dns bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files ethers: files netmasks: files networks: files protocols: files rpc: files services: files netgroup: nisplus publickey: nisplus automount: files nisplus aliases: files nisplus My options for autofs contain the following. MASTER_MAP_NAME="auto.master" TIMEOUT=300 BROWSE_MODE="no" Everything else was commented out. Thanks for all the help. I'm still working on the jmoyer thing.
