It works now, so the automounter is probably quite sane. However the kernel entry (which I have from the shipped configuration files) does still not work. > it's not automounting... > - what is the error messages in /var/log/ Nothing is logged. What I was actually interested in was having a special file/directory in my file-system which was "linked" to file on the web (read only), e.g. like this: debian.faq -> http://www.debian.org/documentation/faq.html so that when I accessed the "file" debian.faq on my local filesystem the real file was downloaded from the url above. I thought autofs was a suitable tool for this, but that was maybe wrong? Is my scheme at all possible, and how would one implement it?
