I am using wildcards with autofs. I have multiple NFS server all with
unique exports list. Is it possible to get autofs to automount those dirs
w/o specifiing the dir name?

auto.master:
/hosts  /etc/auto.hosts

auto.hosts:
*       &:/blah

In the above example I had to specify "/blah" as the dir on the server. In
IRIX there is an option for "-hosts", which mounts ALL exported fs on the
host server. I need to do a similar think in Linux.

I was thinking of using the "program" automount options to create a script
that could use showmount to automatically mount them appropriately but
unfortunately I can't get that to work.

Can someone point me to sample files that use "executable maps". 

I have tried doing something like this:

% automount /hosts program /etc/auto.mount.sh
% cat auto.mount.sh
#!/bin/sh

echo "blah   -fstype=nfs   blah:/dir"

I doubht that I am doing what the man pages are, the man pages seem a
little cryptic.

PS: The reason I am running it manuually via automount is the script
rc.d/init.d/autofs doesn't like the program keyword. Just doesn't work and
I don't really feel like looking at it to fix it.


Thanks.
