Hi, thanks for the prompt reply.
First of all I apologize for the multiple e-mails I ended up sending: The SSL 
ceritificate for GMX' SMTP server seems to have expired,and as a consequence 
neomutt was returning  an unaccetpable certificate error; normally an emeail 
client wouldn't send a message under similar circumstances but it look like 
neomutt did. Now that I now it, I'll pay more attention next time and see if I 
can call GMX support.

Anyway that's my /etc/auto_master:

/media /etc/autofs/usb.map --timeout=10

Here's my indirect map (/etc/autofs/usb.media)

sd0e -fstype=auto,rw,async,nodev,user,nosuid,noatime,umask=002 :/dev/sd0e

It seems that that the problem was somehow related to rc.conf: If I echoed 
automount=YES, autmountd=YES and autounmountd=YES to /etc/rc.conf, this didn't 
result in the services being enbled at the next boot, as confirmed by running:

service automount restart

which returned in 

$autofs is not enabled - see rc.conf(5)

Strange, as looking at the respective rc scripts in /etc/rc.d, the daemons' 
names are correct

Anyway, if I start the service manually, using onerstart, it works:

$(df -h | grep map)

Filesystem                 Size Used  Avail Mounted on
map /etc/autofs/usb.media  0B   0B    100%  /media


Best whishes,
Edmond
