Both boxes will be both server and client. For Solaris, man automount. Yes, of course but if you don't really understand that page then is there a more detailed URL with more examples somewhere? As always the man page is intended for someone who has the basic idea and just needs reminders of syntax or the like... I need to start somewhere below that. For example: From man automount (/etc/auto_master) # Master map for automounter # +auto_master /net -hosts-nosuid /home auto_home It says that `+auto_master' is reference to NIS or NIS+ map if one exists. So if one does not exist do you leave `+auto_master' out? `/homeauto_home' Is auto_home a reference to another file somewhere? Or is it meant verbatim? Or am I supposed to know to put a map entry there... like host:/path/to ? In my case I want to mount a directory from a linux machine at /pub and another at /projects On the linux machine `pub' is found at /pub `projects' is found at /path/to/projects After studying that man page I still have no idea what my entries should look like. And further if auto_pub is a map... what does it look like? There appear to be `direct' and `indirect' ... and ... /pub linux.machine.onlan:/pub which, if any options ? /pub auto_pub ? (and if so, is auto_pub another file somewhere?) Then the whole question of possible options leads off into more man pages with more confusing information. That is, confusing unless you are at or above a fairly sophisticated level already. I need to see some simplified examples that take the whole matter up in one go and explain why, for someone who is not already at a fairly sophisticated level... Or in fact is in no way sophisticated at all. If it matters there are users with the same name and group. The numeric gid is also the same. Uid is different and unless I really need to, I'd as soon leave that alone since there are already numbers of files belonging to a specific (though different) number uid on both machines. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Where can I find a full Walk thru setting up nfs4 from scratch
Running openindiana b 151a as vm guest on host win7 Where can I find an up to date detailed description of setting up nfs4 from scratch on a home lan zfs server with linux nfs4 clients. I've turned up loads of stuff googling, way too much to paw through it all. I'm running openindiana and have posted a similar request on that group. Some of the directions I've found insist on setting up nis. Do I really need nis to be setup to share fs with nfs on a home lan? This is a home lan with no real internet address on the inner network, just a homemade 192.168.1.0/24 setup. With a domain name of `local.lan'. I'm not sure how that effects how I setup nfs4. I need the most basic guidance on this... I do not have a working knowledge of nfs. Hopefully there is some url online for real greenhorns that describes how to do this in detail. When I start to edit /etc/default/nfs as described in some of the directions I've found I see: # Moved to SMF. Use sharectl(1M) to manage NFS properties. So at least several of the guides I've run across are apparently out of date and insist on editing /etc/default/nfs. Hard to tell what guides hold water for modern solaris and offshoots. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
