Hello, I might add that using an IPv6 address, i.e. [2001:638:708:1261:2000::118]:/locals, in the automounter map does not work either while an IPv4 address, i.e. 192.168.220.118:/locals, works without a hitch. Is it desirable to be able to specify IPv6 addresses ? I am just noting the inconsistency. Have a nice weekend !
