hi ya "experts"....
have a dumb question...
besides the obivious....whats the difference between
"mount point" and "key mount point"
i consider /home/user/.autofs the "mount point"...
like /mnt/floppy or /mnt/cdrom etc..etc..
never did understand why or what the differences was
and yes...i too use the symlink method .... simple/fast/easy
( as long as the number of machines is reasonable..even
( hundreds of machines/users is still okay...
- it can all be 100% automated...
can also use it for /n/<machine>/etc/auto.{master,home}/
- makes it easy to compare machines and resync if needed
thanx
