You can get your automount maps through NIS, so you don't need to specify your maps on each client.
To have a working auto.home you will need auto.master to have: /home auto.home auto.home to have: username -rw,soft,nosuid server:/path/to/users/home auto.direct doesn't work with the autofs that's included with RedHat. To get it to work in our environment I had to install autofs4 and rig some scripts to fake direct mounts. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: senthil@jadooworks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 9:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: NIS problem Hi Santhosh, I was trying out that, I have exported a folder in NFS.
