1 The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems on demand.
2 This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce overhead in the
3 already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD automounter (amd), which is a pure
4 user space daemon.
6 To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from
7 <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/>.
9 If you are not a part of a fairly large, distributed network or don't have a
10 laptop which needs to dynamically reconfigure to the local network, you
11 probably do not need an automounter.
