Question Adding autofs to network:/// in nautilus?


Is there a way to have autofs show the /net mount points in network:/// on nautilus?

Or is there a way to get select mount points to auto showup as bookmarks or in the Devices area?


Basically I have a bunch of users on my network who tend to "forget" things. (mostly for get to look) I want to make it easy for them to access common points automatically.

well autofs runs underneath the hood, to nautilus it'll just be a normal local directory path. can you not just add bookmarks to those local paths in nautilus?

Problem with using bookmarks is it has to be added to every computer and every account. Mini nightmare to administrate if the links change.

depends how you administer them. Puppet is great for things like that.
