Special Characters

If you have a map entry that contains special characters, you might have to mount directories that have names which confuse the autofs map parser. The autofs parser is sensitive to names containing colons, commas, spaces, and so on. These names should be enclosed in double quotations, as in the following:

/vms    -ro    vmsserver: -  -  - "rc0:dk1 - "
/mac    -ro    gator:/ - "Mr Disk - "
