Introduction: I am new

[Jason Brooks]

Hello,

Is there a FAQ for this mailing list?

If not, here are a couple right off the bat:

1) Is it in the plans to support a "-hosts" option as found under solaris's automountd?  (or for 
that matter, did I just miss it and it should be obvious?)

2) Is this list for developers, or for users?

3) (something's glimmering inside my brain, but not enough to formulate a third question...)

This function is done by using a program mount in 4.0.0 and above. It does 
not do late mounting so all exports from a given host are mounted when 
accessed. See auto.net in the distribution.

Both.

Don't know the answer to that one.

Thank you for your reply.

When you say:

Do you mean when using a later version of the mount/umount program?  Or Autofs 
version 4.x.x?  Or perhaps the kernel autofs4.o module?  <insert other 
possibilities here>

Aha!  It's a "program" map type!  I thought that might be required.  Thanks.

As long as it isn't something akin to "a b-b rolling around in a boxcar".  :)

Thanks again!

autofs. An updated autofs4 module is not needed to do this.
