Very nice. A couple of questions though: > > What happens if the 'noauto' flag is omitted? I thought about this for a while.

I decided not to do it, and force all wilcarded entries to be noauto. > Or the 'user' flag? If the "user" flag is omitted, then users will not be able to mount those file systems. > Should %u > or wild cards work for root? Yes. > Should they work at boot time (ie. when > 'mount -a' is run)? At this point, no. Wildcard expansion will not be done for -a. Such mounts will fail.
