Solaris-style inheritance?

[Taner Halicioglu]

Hi there,

Is there a way to make the linux automounter inherit entries from the NIS
master's auto.master?  This way if we add new mountpoints we don't have to go
around to every machine and add new ones as well.

e.g. (as in solaris)

[in /etc/auto.master]
+auto_master

and this would grab the list of filesystems to be automounted off the NIS
master.

I suppose auto.master could be auto-generated by doing a ypcat of the
master's file, but that seems rather kludgy to me...

Thanks!
