?? A change to fstab, I presume? Example of current line is
192.168.0.40:/home /mnt/servername_home nfs nosuid,exec,rw,bg,soft,intr 0 0
Do you mean change 'nfs' to 'autofs'?

I don't use fstab to do nfs mounts anymore...that's so yesterday ;-)
but the answer is no...there are no nfs mounts in fstab needed when you
use autofs
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Automount.html
this is a good general explanation...

There are a lot of benefits to doing it this way...they are soft mounts
and not hard mounts. I can change the mounts simply by changing LDAP and
not having to change each computer (LDAP is not necessary for autofs but
is certainly a big plus).
