autofs is a kernel-based automounter for Linux.  It is still under
development, although the features currently implemented seem to work
well.  There is not anywhere near enough documentation available yet;
help in getting some written would be appreciated (see mailing list
below.)

To build autofs, please inspect Makefile.rules and include/automount.h
to see if there are any options you need to change, then you can:

	make			... make the daemon
	make kernel		... make the kernel module
	make all		... make both
	make install		... install the daemon
	make install_kernel	... install the kernel module

Note that the kernel code is also shipped with recent versions of the
stock kernel (the code included with this version will probably be
included in kernel version 2.1.44).

To update an existing kernel tree (2.1.30 or later) to this version of
autofs, replace linux/fs/autofs/* with autofs-0.3.7/kernel/* and
linux/include/linux/auto_fs.h with autofs-0.3.7/include/linux/auto_fs.h.

autofs was written by H. Peter Anvin of Transmeta Corporation, see the
COPYRIGHT file.
