Thanks, Rob. That helps a lot.

OK, Just looked at what we have on Automount:

It doesn't have any examples of the ipa commands a user would run.
The command help has quite a few examples
ipa help automount
Here's what I'd like to be able to do:
1. Create a new locations: pretty easy, ipa automountlocation-add is
pretty easy to figure out, and a location doesn't really need that much
in the way of configuring.
2. Create a new map: Ok, direct or indirect? which is the more common,
and which is the corner case? I'm guessing that direct is the more
common, but the docs are not helpful:
It is not a question of common vs uncommon, they are used for
different purposes.
automountmap-add AUTOMOUNTLOCATION MAP [options]
and no automount specific options are listed, besides description.
There are no options. When you add a map you just specify the name and
the location:
ipa automountlocation-add baltimore
ipa automountmap-add baltimore auto.share
ipa automountkey-add baltimore auto.share --key=man
--info="-ro,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 ipa.example.com:/shared/man"
For a direct map:
ipa automountkey-add baltimore auto.direct --key=/stuff
--info="-ro,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 ipa.example.com:/h/stuff"
add indirect map is a little more expressive:
--mount=STR Mount point
--parentmap=STR Name of parent automount map (default: auto.master).
I tried running this command and both of these are required parameters,
although they are not annotated as such.
Is it true that only an indirect map has a mount point?
Both have mount points, they are just specified differently.
A direct map lists an exact place to mount the map (/usr/local/bin,
/mnt, whatever). An indirect map defines a bucket to drop mounts into.
So it might point to /share and all keys for that are relative to
that. So you define a key ayoung, the map would be /share/ayoung.
Then, basically, a direct map is a degerenate case of an indirect map,
with an implied 'mount point' of '/' ? It really isn't a mount point,
is it, more like "map home dir"?
Moving on to Keys:
automountkey-add AUTOMOUNTLOCATION AUTOMOUNTMAP [options]
--key=IA5STR Automount key name.
--info=IA5STR Mount information
Not too bad. That is pretty clear.
The step by step here looks better.

Anyone that understands this care to illuminate me?
