functioning code.

Any suggestions?

What version of the kernel are you useing? Isnt it the automount fs? Red hat and most other distros have hevily pached up kernels. I think all of the new versions have automount as standard now. What dir are you building in? dont think itll matter but ive herded of it messing up system header files that need to stay the same or somthing.
