The structure will look like this: / |-home `-user1 <-(nfs somehost:/home/user1) |-myftp <-(bind /var/ftp/users/user1) `-pub_ftp <-(bind /var/ftp/pub) The entire structure needs to get automounted as a group on login, and then is chrooted as users ftp into this box. My auto.master looks like this: /home /etc/auto.home --timeout=30 My auto.home looks like this: * -fstype=nfs,rw,intr 10.20.30.40:/home/& \ /home/&/myftp -fstype=file :/var/ftp/users/& \ /home/&/ftp -fstype=file :/var/ftp/pub My home mounts fine via nfs, and is chrooted (when I ftp in), but the other mounts do not occur, and no errors are thrown. Thinking it was a timing issue, and the chroot had occurred before the local mounts happened, I came in via ssh (which is not chrooted, but will not be available to users later), and I get the same results. Finding any examples of this kind of map has been challenging to say the least. I'm assuming my map syntax is incorrect, or is this type of thing simply impossible? Unfortunately, I have to stay at these versions. RHEL4U5 2.6.9-55.ELsmp ProFTPD Version 1.3.1 Linux automount version 4.1.3-199.3 What am I doing wrong here? Thanks, -C
