Not sure what you mean by add JUST the -D flag. We use autofs 4, i.e. testcase, here is an example of a commandline:
/usr/sbin/automount /nfs yp auto.nfs rw,hard,intr -DAPPSPORT=hoss140b -DTSTAPPSPORT=hoss140b -DMAILPORT=hosm140a -DHPCTSTAPPSPORT=hoss141b -DAPPOSNAME=Linux -DAPPOSVER=2.4 This seems to work just fine. What problems did you see?

I have a patch in to redhat with a work-around, and I'm hoping they will find a better fix and publish an errata. -skottie Andy Elmer wrote: > > Hello, > > I was wondering if there was some way of setting the substitution > variables in autofs to specific values?
