- See network and Communications administration:
- page 460:
- The automounter consults the master map only at startuptime.
- So I guess you gotta kill it or reboot.

- About killing the automounter: DON'T use kil -9. the mounts will hang.
- Use kill -15, the automounter will unmount first except for busy mounts.
