    Dear all,

    I have /etc/auto.master and /auto.misc files that have worked happily on
    laptops running Mandrake 10.1
    These same files don't work on Suse 10.0

     (1) Contents of /etc/auto.master
    /misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60

    (2) Contents of /etc/auto.misc
    desktop_home -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,intr desktop:/home

    (3) Result on Mandrake 10.1 of /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs status
    /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 /misc file /etc/auto.misc

    (4) Result on Suse 10.0 of /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs status
    /usr/sbin/automount --timeout -timeout=60 /misc file /etc/auto.misc timeout=60

    On the Mandrake system I can then browse to desktop_home: and find the
    files that live on the desktop machine.
    On Suse, nothing.

    The information that appears as a result of the 'autofs status' seems
    to show some confusion about the timeout parameter
    as timeout is mentioned three times.

    I've seen mention of an automaount problem with dvd drive I can't tell
    if this problem is similar.

    Is anyone else seeing the same problem with remote disk automounting?
    Are there any workrounds on Suse?

    Thank you for any help.
