hi fred
assuming that you want to acess from any_linux:/Net/<host>/*
- I gonna suggest this but donno if it does what you want...
- nor do I remember if the options syntax are right or supported
( we can fix it ( the file ) later? )
linux: vi /etc/auto.master
/.autofs /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60
- or break up into different auto.misc corresponding files
linux: vi /etc/auto.misc
host1 -fstype=nfs,ro,hard,intr,noquota,grpid,retrans=4 host1:/
host2 -fstype=nfs,ro,hard,intr,noquota,grpid,retrans=4 host2:/
host3 -fstype=nfs,ro,hard,intr,noquota,grpid,retrans=4 host3:/
hostxx can be host.domain.name...
linux: mkdir /.autofs /net
linux: cd /net ; ln -s /.autofs/host1 .
linux: cd /net ; ln -s /.autofs/host2 .
linux: cd /net ; ln -s /.autofs/host3 .
linux: /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs stop
linux: /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs start - or whatever to restart autofs
linux: ls -l /net/host*/etc/auto.misc
am I way off base ???
at least the above works for me...and is untested on 2.2 kernels...
have fun
