It looks like this is possible using the 'direct' /- syntax in auto.master but not by specifying /home and then only mentioning specific users in the auto.home file. In the latter case, only the subdirectories mentioned are automounted, but you can't access any local subdirectories under /home. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
