You do know autofs has been set up by default so that it works out of the
box. Just keep the original /etc/auto* files, make sure that autofs is
running and do
cd /net/server/foobar
and you're there. All nfs partitions that a client can see are under
/net/<server>/. In the above example, the server exports /foobar.
