=A0 Is your /home a mounted partition?=A0 Or /home exists before hand.=A0 Automounts will create
the directory as needed when autofs is started.=A0 In other words /home can't exist on ether
the root partition or have any other partitions mounted to /home.

 Fajar,
 =A0 I assume you want your nfstest user to mount their home directory in
/home.=A0 Your autofs files should be:
 auto.master
 /home=A0=A0 =A0=A0 /etc/auto.home --timeout=3D60
 auto.home

Hi Dana,
Thank you very much for replying.
Actually, that was one of the first configurations I tried, but, when I t=
ried=20
it, autofs couldn't be started with error:
"Cannot start automount.=20
/home already mounted"

I don't know, maybe it's because I have done some mistakes before. But, I=
=20
couldn't restart the machine since it's my running mail server (shame on =
me=20
by experimenting on a production server).

I'll setup some boxes at home to try it again.
I'll post the result.
