automount daemon, and supposedly works like the SunOS AMD. It is implemented in user space, meaning it's not part of the kernel. It's not necessary for the kernel to understand automounting if you NFS mount to the local host, through the AMD daemon, which routes all automount filesystem traffic through the NFS system. Autofs is a newer system assisted by the kernel, meaning that the kernel's filesystem code knows where the automount mount points are on an otherwise normal underlying fs, and the automount program takes it from there. Only autofs will be described in this mini-howto.

<sect>Installation
<p>
Because autofs is implemented in kernel-space, your kernel must have support
compiled in. All versions of the kernel starting from 2.2.xx supports autofs.
<p>The automount program and its configuration files are also necessary; using the rpms. The RedHat distribution has this package as part of the installation.
