Comment 12 for bug 683938

I was also asked what the client side of the nfs looks like.

Make some directories:
# mkdir /dir /auto

Create the automount master:
# echo "/auto /etc/auto.auto" > /etc/auto.master

Create the automount map:
# echo "foo -tcp server-2:/foo" > /etc/auto.auto

Start the automounter in the foreground so you can watch it
# /etc/init.d/autofs stop
# automount -d -f

Have a server server-1 exporting dir. Then mount it:
# mount server-1:/dir /test

Create a symlink to the automount filesystem
# ln -s /auto/foo /test/foo

Make sure that server-1 exports the filesystem fine. Make sure that server-2 bounces the mount attempt with a permission denied error.

Then
# ls /test/foo/
# cd /test/foo
# echo /test/foo/*

and other such things. wait a bit.
