That tells autofs to use the file /etc/auto.net when you try to access
files under /net. Normally, auto.net makes the NFS-exported file
systems from other hosts available. E.g., assuming foo.example.org is a
host that exports / and /usr, then /net/foo.example.org is the / file
system of foo.example.org and /net/foo.example.org/usr is the /usr file
system of foo.example.org.
If you disable autofs, then you won't be able to access those hosts
through /net anymore (although you can still mount them explicitly). If
you're not doing that anyway, then disabling autofs won't do any harm.
