A moderately-frequently asked question is "why do automounted directories in shares disappear?" The old answers were: 1) they timed out and auto-un-mounted, and 2) you shouldn't re-export NFS-imported stuff anyway. A new answer (0) was just suggested by a Sun techie: add a "browse" option to the automounter map entry, to make them appear even when they're not mounted. Could someone with appropriate permissions add this to the FAQ? --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
