i made a change to the start up script so that the automounter can actually get information for nis indirect maps. changes are as follows. but first a question. do you know if the automounter in linux knows how to deal with wild cards? in soloars you can have the following:

somedir somehost:/somelocation
* someotherhost:/users/&

where "*" is the dir that you try to cd into and & is the directory that is mounted. this helps you from having to specify every user in the home map.

from:
/usr/bin/ypcat -k "$map" 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d'

to:
/usr/bin/ypcat -k "$map" 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d'| sed 's/_/
\./g'

sun secondary maps are of the form:

somedir some_map


the some_map has to be changed to some.map in order the mount points defined in some_map can be mounted.
