Anyway it isn't mounting the directory I'm > interested in. It means that it'll pay attention to requests to find something in /net. e.g. If I request "/net/server/downloads", whether that be with an "ls" command, "cd" command, or a plethora of other filesystem access methods, automount will attempt to access the "downloads" directory on a machine with "server" as its hostname (that hostname could be mentioned in your /etc/hosts file, or a DNS query can be made to resolve it). I'm not sure if it'll try both SMB and NFS, as I no-longer use SMB on my system, but it definitely works with NFS. -- (This PC runs FC4, my others FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
