ah, autofs4 indeed removes the directory even without write permission (v5 doesn't), I thought I'd checked that, too. But this behaviour has been around for ages, and I still don't understand why it fails for you (i.e. why is root unable to create /net, but perfectly able to remove it later?). Could you please explain what's going on there? Regards, Jan
