What config? What file is this line located in? You need to place automount managed mount points in a master map, often named "auto.master" and commonly located in "/etc". For example an auto.master (master map) to mount home directories might have an entry (among others) like: /home /etc/auto.home and then the map /etc/auto.home may have mount entries (among others) like: myhome myhome.nfs:/home/sanjay > on the same client machine:: > > /etc/resolv.conf has > search apla.com > nameserver 10.10.10.245 > nameserver 10.10.10.244 > > now ping to myhome.nfs gives > > PING myweb.apla.com (10.10.10.12) 56(84) bytes of data > 64 bytes from myweb.apla.com (10.10.10.12) : icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 > time=0.132ms > > When I do this.. > > tech-sanjay:/auto$ cd myhome > -bash: cd: myhome: No such file or directory > > I am trying to understand how the automount deamon handles the > requests...
