Exactly, just add an entry to /etc/fstab that fits your automounted autofs setup and add the user option. This is my setup for my cd. My auto.rmd map file entry z -fstype=iso9660,ro,uid=0,gid=35 :/dev/hdd My fstab entry /dev/hdd /rmd/z iso9660 noauto,user,ro,uid=0,gid=35 A question for you. Are you setting timeouts in the auto.master file being? I am having problems getting them to work, even though they were being processed correctly by the starup scripts. I filed a bug against autofs and the maintainer acknowledged the problem and was able to reproduce it. For now I just have a cron job run every few minuts that sends a USR1 kill signal to the automount processes. -- Brian Servis -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanical Engineering | Never criticize anybody until you Purdue University | have walked a mile in their shoes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because by that time you will be a http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis | mile away and have their shoes.
