Can you elaborate? I have to remove this line from the autofs script on
all of our RHL boxes before installing them. Sometimes I forget, and no
one gets their homes automounted. The servers with the NIS maps are
Sun. So in this case I would say that you are breaking Sun mounts
I only know part of the story, but anything to keep autofs compatible
with NIS+ would be great. NIS+ uses auto_home rather than auto.home.
The typical setup has /etc/auto_home, /etc/auto_direct,
/etc/auto_master (in addition to the files distributed as NIS+
tables).
