AFAIK /usr/sbin/automoun is a script. maybe somethig was changed there. It might worth to run an "swverify \*"

Hello nobleboi,

From the manual it says that the order of the data in the auto_master file should be mount-point map-name options. For you I would try /net /etc/auto_direct -hosts -nosuid,soft,nobrowse. The auto_direct file looks good.

Hi,

Try.. vi /etc/auto_master
/net -hosts -nosuid,soft,nobrowse
/- /etc/auto_direct

Check /etc/auto_direct and do an automount....
