Every day logwatch reports the following: 

--------------------- Automount Begin ------------------------ 

 
 Failed mounts:
    .directory          Program Lookup Failure 13 Time(s)
    net                 Mount Failure 13 Time(s)
 
 ---------------------- Automount End -------------------------

In October last year Claude Jones suggested that autofs could/should be turned 
off unless it is known to be used.  He said that it would not affect mounting 
usb devices.  He didn't say, however, whether it would affect the pop-up 
behaviour when a data disk is inserted into a CD/DVD drive.

Question 1 - does it affect CD/DVD drives?

Question 2 - the man page makes it sound as though autofs is pretty essential, 
being used during bootup.  Would shutting it off impact on this?

Question 3 - what else do I need to know?
