Re: [PLUG] Re: automount question

Thanks!  I haven't actually tried the three dashes on SuSE yet, but at 
least I have something to try now.  Testing under RedHat 9.0:

"timeout=3" is ignored and a default is assumed

"-timeout=3", "--timeout=3", or "---timeout=3" set the timeout to three 
seconds

So, if RedHat and SuSE agree on the three-dash format, all is well. 
This is important since the auto.* files will be propagated to all 
computers via scp or rsync.
