automount is supposed to mount directories on demand. If you want them to be mounted at startup, use fstab. I haven't used automount in quite a while, but if you post what you are trying to do, we can work it out. BTW, the mount points need to exist for automount to use them. That is, if /etc/auto.master has /home /etc/auto.home Then /home needs to exist. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
