    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Go to Administration -> Server Settings -> Service Management (Services) and stop and uncheck the autofs server. That is what does the automounting. Since services have to be configured / started /stopped by root, it will ask for the root password before letting you into that tool. That way, normal users cannot change this without access to the root account password.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
    Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
