Re:[LIH] Automount

[arvind clemente <rwind4197@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanx Thaths,
Can you please tell me why my other directories are
not mounted automatically. Ie the status of autofs
seems to be ok when it has mounted the /- directory
but i cannot change to those directories. (all these
directories are of auto.direct). another thing is how
to set amd for /net /xfn access.
thanx in advance

arvind

Good that you could get the home directories and /- to
automount.  The
other two (/net and /xfn) are not being automounted
because autofs does not
do the kind of mapping that is indicated in the
auto.master file.

Your workaround would be to install amd (automount
daemon) - another
software that does automounting - and use that to
mount /net and /xfn
