Automountfs Service


I figured out that to get my ntfs drive to mount automatically that I had to manually edit my /etc/fstab in my Redhat Linux 9. That works, but in the process I noticed that I have a service that runs on boot up called "automountfs." I've looked through my linux book and here for any reference to how to configure that service and have come up empty. Is there any reference out there as to how this thing works?

I'm pretty sure that it's not using fstab as on bootup it says there are no mount points defined. Given that, is there any school of thought as to which is the better way to go?
Thanks
