+<WRAP center round important 60%>
+**2022-11-30**: Please note that I have discovered, that this howto is more complicated than it needs to be and is not taking advantage of the flexibility offered by autofs. But... It will work for ONE user who needs shares from ONE server mounted into his/her/... home.
+Anyway, this howto needs refactoring... stay tuned.
