Dear Ian , Thx for the instant reply . I have tried in the same way you told . I am in an environment where we have both solaris and linux clients while nis master is a solaris box .Maps come from NIS . Does this ghost option ( /home /etc/auto.home --ghost ) given in the master server cause any trouble for the existing solaris clients .
Any work around would be highly appreciated . rgds surya ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Kent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2004 20:32:51 +0800 (WST) To: surya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [autofs] Autofs problem (migration from sun to linux ) > On Sun, 14 Mar 2004, surya wrote: > > > Dear Ian , > > Thank you for your help .
