automount problem without configuration

Hi!

I can't go to the example directory /var/autofs/misc /kernel that should connect me to the ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux NFS share.

I get the following error :

>> mount: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused
mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux on /var/autofs/misc/kernel

Here's my hosts.allow:

#
# /etc/hosts.allow
#

SSHD: ALL
portmap: 204.152.189.116   
nfsd: 204.152.189.116   
nfslockd: 204.152.189.116   
lockd: 204.152.189.116   
rquotad: 204.152.189.116   
mountd: 204.152.189.116   
statd: 204.152.189.116   
bftpd: ALL   

# End of file

Here's my rpcinfo -p localhost output:

    100024    1   udp  32966  status
    100024    1   tcp  32839  status

I don't know what to do to get rid of the error...

Thanks

Michel

Re: automount problem without configuration

Actually I've never used automount for mounting ftp sites as local systems, however AFAIR in order this to work you need to have ftpfs enabled in kernel (I'm not sure if it's included in vanilla kernels or you need to patch yours manually). However all the confs provided (except auto.net) are automount's examples so you should read the manpage & the how-to in tldp.org for more info. To verify that automount works, search the forum on how to use it as a supermount replacement for removable local media.
