I'm trying to get the automounter to "automount" a single remote
directory below a directory that already contains local files.

On my Sun I can setup the automounter with a direct map and 
get the results I want.  Below is what I want the automounter
to do for me:

    local host
	/loc-dir/file1	 (existing directory with files in it)
	/loc-dir/file2

    remote host
	/rem-dir/file1	(directory which we want to automount)
	/rem-dir/file2

After automount
    local host
	/loc-dir/file1
	/loc-dir/file2
	/loc-dir/rem-dir/file1
	/loc-dir/rem-dir/file2

On my Sun, I can do this by using the direct mapping capablity:

	In auto.master:
		/-	auto.direct
	In auto.direct
		/loc-dir/rem-dir	remote-host:/rem-dir

I have tried, and failed, to get this to work under AIX.  Can
anyone tell me if/how this can be done?

Thanks,
