What I want is to stop just *one* of these exported file systems being mounted on just my Fedora Core 6 system at work so I can have a local file system there instead.
So, does anyone know if this is remotely possible?
No idea. By your description of /net, I assume that's a /net/hostname/exportedfs - or is that amd?
I'd anticipate it breaking horribly (as in hard lock) but I'd try starting the automounter, making the directory appear (maybe safer to do this with a ghost or dummy directory) and then mount the local filesystem on that directory (directly or with --bind option).
If you try to do it the other way (make a directory /net/whatever/local and mount the local fs there, then start the automounter), the autofs will be "on top" of the local fs, so be hidden.
Let us know how it goes and whether you junk a filesystem (hope not),
