Hi,

I cannot reproduce this problem at all.

Now, when I do:

cd /net/testhost

it "just works", and I can access all the NFS exports.  My previous problem
might have been due to a temporary networking problem on my side.
Yay!

The only additional comment that I have for you is that the rc.conf
variable is
"autofs_enable", but the /etc/rc.d/ scripts are /etc/rc.d/automount and
/etc/rc.d/automountd.
It's not a big deal, but it would be nice if there was a single
/etc/rc.d/autofs script to consolidate all this stuff, that would
make it easier for admins to figure out where all the rc.d stuff related to
autofs lives.

Also, if your rc script introduced an autofs_flags (or automount_flags)
variable, so that
people could put the "-d" flag in there to enable more automount debugging,
that would be nice.

Other than that, I would say:  Great work!
I hope you can get this into 10.1-RELEASE!
