Hi. Where I work, we're using NIS and automounter on Solaris and HP-UX
a bunch. We use it for home directories, Apache tilde public_html
directories in home directories, parts libraries for PTC CADDS and
Pro/E, and ... (here's the rub) ... application servers. The app
servers allow us to provide jumpstartable (Solaris) or Ignite-able
(HP-UX) systems that look for their apps on servers automatically.
Works great, but can't use autofs 3 to do everything they way that the
Solaris and HP-UX automounters work.
In particular, I can't take architectural info (uname -m or similar) and
pass it to the automounter for building paths to the applications on the
app servers. We use this extensively in support of our wrapper scripts
for applications, which allow a simple single command to find the app
server, the architecture, the operating system version, the libC version
(if applicable), the version of the application software and any
version-specific init or data files.
I noticed when reviewing an archive of this mailing list that variable
substitution was being considered for autofs v4. Any progress on this?
Where can I find any source, rpm's, etc., even if incomplete?
thanks!
