Problem with autofs on linux.

[Steven W. Orr]

Here's the problem. I added the following line to my auto.master

/usr/local       /etc/auto.viasat

Then the content of my /etc/auto.viasat contains this line:

viasat       -ro             bos-srv-lnx:/usr/local/viasat

The viasat doesn't work and I'm ripping my hair out trying to figure this 
out. The automount works fine but it eclipses the entire content of 
/usr/local.

The goal is that I don't want any of the files in /usr/local to be 
eclipsed. I just want /usr/local/viasat to have the content of the 
/usr/local/viasat from bos-srv-lnx.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

I need this sooner than later. Thanks. :-(
