Hi

You can use autofs to automount anything "mount" can mount (sounds
kinda logical, doesn't it? ;))

So with FTP you're out of luck unless you use one of these
userspace filesystems, which can mount FTP.

Perfectly, yes.

Yes, auto.master lists maps (not necessarily files).

Per default (depends on your mount configuration) fstype=3Dauto
will not work for any network filesystems.

Use fstype=3Dnfs for NFS, for windows shares fstype=3Dsmbfs or
fstype=3Dcifs (beware that autofs can't ask you for a password, so
you must pass username/password as options in auto.misc if
necessary).
