Suggestions on controlling the automounter

[Gregor Shapiro]

Ubuntu is (as some competent Linux users have told me) a "user friendly"
distribution and as such lots of more or less 'advanced' things you might
like to do are difficult or impossible. If you are or have a desire to be
competent (which I definitely am not), use a full fledged Linux: e.g.
Fedora or Debian.
