ls /autofs/data work for me, but /autofs/* not. This is the problem.

I understand this, but if I want users to travel in the file hierarchie
under /autofs, without known the name of every mount point, I must create
an another directory (e.g. /autofs_user ), made a symbolic link for every
mount point (e.g. ln -s /autofs/data data), and tell to the users to use
/autofs_user instead of /autofs, otherwise they must know that
/autofs/data exist for seeing /autofs/data/ contents.
Bye.
David.
