I am sorry, but I don't like that, I want that any map is read from
/etc if it exists, and in other case, read from NIS. Example:
Here I have an NFS server, I use it for several archs/oses.
I want to be able to mount the binaries mounts rw in some
systems, but being ro in the rest of them. I achieve that
putting a NIS map ro and overriding specific maps in specific
machines with a local map. How can I obtain that if I read first
the NIS map?
Later, Juan.
