Re: [autofs] Autofs problem (migration from sun to linux )

2004-03-14 Thread surya
Dear Ian ,
 Thank you for your help . But unfortunately it did not solve my problem . I run 
autofs modular . So I removed existing one and compiled the autofs4 tar file and also 
compiled the patch module(autofs4-2.4-module-20031201.tar.bz2 ) . It got installed , I 
restarted autofs but no luck . Most of my maps comes from NIS . still I cant see any 
directories . Kindly tell me is there something else which I need to check .

awaiting your reply,

rgds
Surya .

 Try looking at 
 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/
 
 You need the kernel module update also.

Did you read the documentation in the tarball?

I guess you untared it edited the macros in Makefile.conf to point to the 
source tree of the running kernel then:

make
make install

That's all you should need to do for the kernel module.

You also need to add an option to the master map like

/home   /etc/auto.home --ghost

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 .

Yes.

Create a file master map localy to refer to the NIS maps.

 I think this is an answer we all like to know. As far as I know this feature does

Oh, you've checked below and that's not good enough for you?
