Our setup is a bit more traditional. This is what we're doing: $ cat /etc/auto.master # ... /nfs /etc/auto.net +auto.master $ ypcat -k auto.master /net/vol auto.vol -rw,hard,intr /net/appl auto.appl -rw,hard,intr /net/hosts -hosts -rw,hard,intr /net/home auto.home -rw,hard,intr $ ypcat -k auto.home ... wooledg imadev:/home/wooledg leek vandev:/home/leek ... It's a bit higher maintenance than you were aiming for (we have one line per user account in the auto.home NIS map), but it gives user account directories directly underneath the autofs mount point (in our case it's /net/home, but it could as easily be /home). It also has the advantage of flexibility -- if the physical location of a user's home directory changes, it's just a one-line change in the auto.home map followed by an NIS map push. We have a mixed network of HP-UX, Debian and Red Hat machines. This works on all of them. _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
