This should work. That is the way I jump start my automounter. I presume that when you do it at the command line it works correctly? Yes, starting it from the command line "worked" (more in a sec). Someone said they started it at the end of rc.tcpip and it worked. This also "worked" though it doesn't make any sense. *BUT* the thing keeps crashing on me with a segmentation violation. This occurs whether I start it manually or automatically at boot time. It runs fine for some amount of time, then just crashes. Restarting it doesn't fix the problem. Machine has to be rebooted. It is mounting filesystems from Sun 330's and 390's running SunOS 4.1. It has stayed up for as little as 3 hours, up to 15 hours. Right now, I'm watching it trying to see if I can see at what point it crashes. Mount from a specific machine, unmounting an idle directory, etc. Command line: /usr/etc/automount /user /etc/userhome /n -hosts -rw,intr,rsize=1024,wsize=1024 /etc/userhome has the format: username mtoptions host:pathname Any ideas anyone?
