When I had them defined, the files showed as having the local user/group that I wanted. After having removed them, they show as the uid/gid of the remote user. I'm not sure how to reconcile my findings with what you said, above. Could you elaborate on that? > Personally I always use the autofs configuration to enable debug logging. I take that to mean that i should remove the `--debug` option from the master map, and add `LOGGING=debug` to auto.master.

Got it. Seeing your conversion of my configs helps me understand. Everything seems to be working with both mounts (except that the ownership looks weird).

Yup, I learned that the hard way in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1434600. Thanks for that. Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in
