Description: kernel-based automounter for Linux
Autofs controls the operation of the automount daemons. The
automount daemons automatically mount filesystems when they
are used and unmount them after a period of inactivity. This
is done based on a set of pre-configured maps.
.
The kernel automounter implements an almost complete SunOS
style automounter under Linux. A recent version of the kernel
autofs4 module (builtin or separate) is required.
.
This is the autofs daemon.
