Introduction[edit]

The automounter configuration consists of the auto_master configuration file, which assigns filesystem paths to map names, and maps, which contain actual mount information. The auto_master configuration file is used by the automount(8) command. Map files are read by the automountd(8) daemon. It is possible to add custom special maps by adding them, as executable maps named special_foo, to the /etc/autofs/ directory.

Those are the components underneath the autofs(5), but how does it fit together? Let's start with the actual map. In FreeBSD, special maps (the ones with names starting with "-") are just executables in /etc/autofs/:
