There is a libautofs library and a mount_autofs program in my 7.2 source tree, but I'm not sure what it is, since it's not installed or built on my amd64 box. > Last time I asked the > question someone said I need amd, which I found rather cryptic.

It is a program that is part of the base system. See it's manual page; 'man amd' From amd(8): The amd utility is a daemon that automatically mounts file systems whenever a file or directory within that file system is accessed. File systems are automatically unmounted when they appear to be quiescent.
