Hi Everybody,
    I want little bit help. I've installed Red Hat Linux 8.0 & 
configured it as a NFS & NIS server. I also installed Red Hat Linux 8.0 
on other system as a NIS client. Now I want to automount the hosts. E.g. 
/hosts/<systemname>/home. I have exported the /home from server. How can 
I achieve this in red hat linux. In solaris I can specify "/hosts -hosts 
<options" in auto_master. But what's the procedure to do this in red hat 
linux?
    

Use autofs4 (ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4/).  Grab
the latest src.rpm and rebuild it.  You will probably have to make
autofs start after NIS.  In the spec file, I have:
# chkconfig: 345 61 19

Also, make sure you have 'alias autofs autofs4' in /etc/modules.conf,
and remove the autofs3 module (service autofs stop;rmmod autofs).  I
usually put these in the RPM file, but I haven't downloaded the latest
to see if this is already in it.

Once you rebuild the src.rpm file, install it and start it.  Instead of
/hosts, you will use /net, and you may want to add nonstrict to the opts
line in /etc/auto.net (if it isn't already).

If you have problems, return with your errors.

Forrest
