Hello, I am new to the list. I wanted to use the program format to provide some good solution. Unfortunately, it showed a strange behaviour. It seems to me, nobody really ever used it! Your example delivered with the distribuion works, although it should not IMHO. I would expect that the program format causes the same action as e.g. a nis-map or a file. Maybe I am wrong with my expectations. Try this:
~# cat /etc/auto.master /auto /etc/auto.auto ~# cat <<*** >/etc/auto.cat #!/bin/sh grep -v ^# /etc/auto.auto exit 0 *** ~# chmod a+x /etc/auto.cat ~# /etc/auto.cat floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0 video -fstype=nfs,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 ok:/home/video ~# echo "/tmp/cat /etc/auto.cat" >> /etc/auto.master ~# /etc/rc.d/autofs restart ~# ls /auto/video . .. DVD ~# ls /tmp/cat/ . .. ~# ls /tmp/cat/video ^C ~# tail -5 /var/log/messages Aug 8 16:26:21 akemi automount[6212]: mount(nfs): host -fstype=auto: lookup failure Aug 8 16:26:21 akemi automount[6212]: mount(nfs): host : lookup failure Aug 8 16:26:21 akemi automount[6215]: mount(nfs): host floppy: lookup failure Aug 8 16:26:21 akemi automount[6215]: mount(nfs): host -fstype=auto: lookup failure Aug 8 16:26:21 akemi automount[6215]: mount(nfs): host : lookup failure thanks for reading. Is there a simple solution?
