I agree!  But there are several reason why we want the automount
solution, one of them is ISS (Interactive Session Support).  And we
still have machines where we can't get an ADSM client for, e.g. Linux
machines.  If there is NFS support, why doesn't ADSM support
automount?  We want to make our system as transparent as possible for
our users.
