Or only for user-space stuff like am-utils? It is true only for autofs. Of course "mount server:/path /mount/point" will always work :) Word has it that the am-utils now speaks autofs to the kernel, and does support direct mounts (among other things), so one can have the best of both worlds (speed and features) Now we can finally get along in a Sun environment without hacks. autofs has its own mailing list btw ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
