I've gotten autofs working for NIS but it won't mount off the root
directory... I thought maybe you could help if you do anything like this...
I've been told to install "autofs" for automounting...
did that, have NIS running and the machine can do a ypcat auto.direct...
after installing the rpm for Red Hat 5.0, it starts up with:
/usr/sbin/automount /- yp auto.master soft
Here's the automount tables on the NIS master running DEC OSF/1:
auto.master:
/- auto.direct -soft (I get the same problem if I put
/tmp_mnt here)
auto.direct:
/apps -soft,ro host:/apps
/home -soft,rw host:/home
/home1 -soft,rw host:/home1
/home2 -soft,rw host:/home2
/home3 -soft,rw host:/home3
I get the following messages in /var/log/messages:
Jun 4 09:31:39 exciton automount[315]: attempting to mount entry /-/apps
Jun 4 09:31:39 exciton automount[736]: lookup(yp): lookup for apps failed:
No such key in map
Jun 4 09:31:42 exciton automount[315]: attempting to mount entry /-/apps
Jun 4 09:31:42 exciton automount[737]: lookup(yp): lookup for apps failed:
No such key in map
(because the mount point is /-, it's trying to find entries called
"/-/apps" or "apps" to mount at /-/apps)
If I add a line in auto.direct with:
/apps -soft,ro host:/apps
it will mount, but only under the mount point directory, not under the root
directory, which is what I want!
The /- in auto.master, at least in DEC OSF/1 4.0b, allows you to automount
/apps at the top level. How can I do this with linux?
TIA!
