Just in case anyone is digging through the archives looking for a
solution, I came up with this quick & dirty, but effective, solution: I
made the auto.apps an executable map as:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $1 == "oracle" ]]; then
/bin/echo 'hous0117:/vol/vol013/&-${HOST}'
else
/usr/bin/ypmatch $1 auto.apps
fi
Obviously this could get ungainly rather quickly, but to override just a
couple of keys, it seems to work OK.
