I am having a hard time telling the automounter to use the options 
rsize=32768,wsize=32768 when automounting home directories.  I have 
tried specifying these options in the auto.home file on my nis master 
server ( -rw,soft,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 nismaster:/export/home/jrush )
I have also tried to put them in the localoptions setting in the autofs 
init file ( localoptions='rsize=32768,wsize=32768' ) on both the nis 
master and on the client machines.
I also tried to specify these options in the auto.master file on the nis 
master (the client machines don't have auto.master files because they 
read the nis master's file ) ( /etc/auto.home  
--timeout=43200,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 )
I have also tried to use lower settings such as 16384

however when I look in /proc/mounts on the client machine it is either 
mounted with 4096 or 8192

My setup is as follows:
All the machines are running redhat 9 using Linux automount version 
3.1.7 and nfs version 3
