Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I have been on leave for a while. I can't find a direct claim that "linux doesn't support direct maps", anywhere (although I seem to recall seeing it somewhere...). But I know I spent some time trying to make it work without success. And, the autofs documentation that comes with LM7.1 explicitly does NOT say anything at all about direct maps. Also, the man page for automount does say that the map format is a "subset of the Sun automounter map format" - ie. it does not do everything.

Do you know if there is any documentation on the net to support your statement of 'linux doesn't support direct maps'? Thanks again for the help...

These files are used successfully with Compaq's Tru64 Unix. Thanks, Lou. /etc/auto.master: ----------------- # mount-point mapname mount-options /- /etc/auto.direct -rw,soft,intr /corsair /etc/auto.corsair -rw,soft,intr /etc/auto.direct: ----------------- # key mount-options remote-location /var/spool/mail quabbin:/usr/spool/mail
