Simon,

    Thanks for the reply.  Yes, /etc/auto.net is executable, and if I 
run the auto.net program as
you suggest it returns the following:

==============================================
[hostname: ] /etc/auto.net dev3
-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid \
        /ccStore16 dev3:/ccStore16 \
        /ccStore19 dev3:/ccStore19 \
        /ccStore20 dev3:/ccStore20 \
        /ccStore21 dev3:/ccStore21 \
        /ccStore22 dev3:/ccStore22 \
        /export/home dev3:/export/home
==============================================

But, for some reason, when I try to mount it, I get:

=====================================
[hostnames]# cd /net/dev3
bash: cd: /net/dev3: No such file or directory
=====================================

.....and as I was writing this, I gave it another try, and it's 
resolved. I don't know for sure what
the original problem was, but the machine was originally a RH 6.2 
machine, and I had done
an upgrade to 7.2.  Well, I backed up a couple of files, and did a full 
install, starting with
formatting the partitions.  After the cold install, and 
re-configuration, it now works.  Thanks
to all for any and all head scratching along with me.  

    Cheers....  
   
        Jeff.
