Last time I tried to do anything like that, it was in a mixed
environment of FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris and a couple of Irix boxes.
Apart from FreeBSD, they all understood autofs and could mount stuff
happily using NIS maps. Unfortunately I never could get FreeBSD to
understand those maps and translate them into what amd wanted. Ended
up having a separate amd mount map just for the FreeBSD boxes -- which
was a pain, but not too much of one since the FreeBSD boxes were
generally the doing DNS, DHCP, firewalling and (ironically) NIS
serving: no need to NFS mount mouch at all.
On the other hand, there is this:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-September/036786.html
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1001154+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2004/cvs-all/20040905.cvs-all
so there will be autofs support in 5.3-RELEASE.
Cheers,
Matthew
