The man page for auto.master(5) refers to direct maps, ie "The mount-point for the direct map is always specified as /- in the auto.master map."
My auto.master map looks like this: >speyburn ~ # ypcat -k auto.master >/home auto.home >/mp auto.mp >/- auto.direct and my auto.direct map looks like this: >speyburn ~ # ypcat -k auto.direct >/users -rw,soft banff:/export/home/banff So a reference to /users/username should result in banff:/export/home/banff being mounted on /users - but this does not happen, I get "no such file or directory". Also I only have two automount daemons running, for the two indirect maps. Can the Gentoo automounter handle direct maps? BTW while experimenting with this I found a funny in pam. /etc/pam.d/xdm refers to pam_console.so, but there is no such module in /lib/security. Is this provided by a user package? I can't remember the incantation for searching the whole package set for a single file, even if that package isn't installed. Also BTW is it worth reporting on errors in man pages? The man page for autofs refers to /etc/autofs/init.d/autofs, where it should be /etc/init.d/autofs. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
