7.60 Remote mounts and the automounter -- What's new?

HP-UX 10.x ships with an automounter running with a -hosts option, so it's easy 
to just say "/net/hostname/directory/...", and the automounter will do the rest. 

If you like, you can put symbolic links in to make things easier, for example:
    /x1        -> /net/x1/x1
    /usr/valid -> /net/x1/valid

Alek comments: While this is convienent and easy to do, using explicit
automount maps (ex: /home/username) is usually a better idea in terms
of keeping things "tight" and maintaining server/disk independance.
