Pretty much standard configuration here on Solaris and Irix is to have "automount: files nis" in nsswitch.conf and "+auto.master" in the local auto_master file. I'm not aware if this is what the standard automount behavior should be (it's documented in the Irix man page for autofs), but we've gotten away with it for years if it's not. Another nice thing to see would be the "-null" option in auto.master. We have machines running clustered filesystems that are also exported via NFS from one or two meta-data servers. The machines that see the filesystems locally should not automount the fileystems and the "-null" would allow us to exclude them. -Steve _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
