I've read the archives, and I have a few questions about the /net directory.
I want to auto mount directories in /net under the
/net/<hostname>/<exports>/<dirs>. It seems that there is a solution using
the new autofs4. I don't _really_ want to do this unless it is very stable,
because this is for a production environment, and I am installing machines
via Kickstart NFS install. I can patch the kernel and rebuild the rpm (I
already have to do it for a couple of other programs), but I want to know if
there is a solution that I can use with the existing systems (autofs-3.1.4,
kernel 2.2.16). Can I use the auto.net file from autofs-4? Will it work at
getting the exports/directories from other hosts (BTW must the hosts be in
/etc/hosts, or can I get them via NIS/NFS?)?
Thanks in advance,
Forrest Taylor
