No, I upgraded to autofs5 and that respecs the "+" entry in files like /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, /etc/shadow, /etc/auto.master. Autofs5 did the trick.

Regards chuck ** Changed in: nis (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: nis (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Local maps can't include server-side maps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304492 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in "nis" package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: nis I have a need to include as server-side map in a local map so that I can make some local overrides (in this case the home directory). This works in CentOS 4.7, but not in Ubuntu, so I know it's possible to do with NIS. /etc/auto.home userfolder -rw,soft,intr :/localhome/userfolder +auto.company_home This doesn't work. I only get "userfolder" showing up in my /home folder and none of the 50+ entries that are in the auto.home map on the NIS server. the "userfolder" entry overrides an entry in the server- side map, instead pointing the user's home folder to a local folder rather than an NIS share.
