Apache has no knowledge of whether a directory exists until it performs a lookup. And it's the lookup that triggers the automount. Check your NFS options. Using NFS with apache - or anywhere exposed to the public 'net - is not encouraged. Not good for either security or performance. > Anyone have a way to implement the above without doing undesired automount attempts of a non-existent "someuser"? Most simply, make sure AllowOverride is set to None. You could also see if mod_cache helps, and if it doesn't then you've diagnosed a major inefficiency in your server. But mod_cache will only reduce, not eliminate, NFS accesses. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
