Any pointers? If autofs is running correctly on your machine then /mnt/cdrom will be empty (until you have caused a mount). Your /etc/auto.master says to mount stuff _inside_ /mnt/cdrom according to /etc/auto.cdrom. The /etc/auto.cdrom file: cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/cdrom would therefore cause /dev/cdrom to be mounted at /mnt/cdrom/cdrom when you access that directory. You should therefore try to cd /mnt/cdrom/cdrom; ls Andreas -- Prof. Dr. Andreas J. Guelzow Assoc. Prof of Mathematics Concordia University College of Alberta http://www.math.concordia.ab.ca/aguelzow
