This is very confusing: I have a mount_autofs man page that is installed. I do not know when it was placed in there, but it has a date of Nov 9, 2004 on /usr/share/man/man8/mount_autofs.8.gz. The history, however, says "The mount_autofs utility first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0." which is not true. mount_autofs is not being built in 6.0-stable. Looking in the /usr/src/sbin/Makefile, it is not traversed. The dates in there seem a little wacky too: ls -l /usr/src/sbin/mount_autofs/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 213 Sep 8 2004 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2351 Jan 24 2005 mount_autofs.8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2883 Sep 12 2004 mount_autofs.c There is also references to libautofs as well as a man page and /usr/src/lib/libautofs which isn't built either. There doesn't appear to be enough information anywhere as to how one would setup support if it were indeed in there. Googling "freebsd autofs" indicates that freebsd 6 integrated autofs support (part of google summer of code?). Was this pulled from the release? Was autofs support suppose to go in (and was actually built at one point), then removed from 6-stable? Sean
