Does your kernel have the LOFS stuff installed? Does your remote host support normal NFS mounts (to it)? We aren't using the SUNOS4.0 automount/LOFS, rather, the stuff shipped with NSE under SUNOS3.4/3.5. My configuration is simple: /etc/auto.master: /hosts /usr/etc/auto.hosts /usr/etc/auto.hosts: machineA machineA:/dirA machineB machineB:/dirB machineC machineC:/dirC All one has to do is "cd /hosts/machineA" to be at machineA:/dirA. ``Works fer me'' Joe Angelo -- Senior Systems Engineer/Systems Manager at Teknekron Software Systems, Palo Alto 415-325-1025 joe@tss.com - uunet!tekbspa!joe - tekbspa!joe@uunet.uu.net
