I am in the process of setting up the SunOS 4.x automount program and have run into some problems. I have no problem starting the program by hand as "# automount /net -hosts". But this isn't what I want. I have a network with user login disks distributed, so I want to be able to setup an account /usr/users/someone and specify that the someone directory really comes from host:/path/someone (where host is where that disk resides). I haven't been able to get automount to use the -f flag at all (it just exits). Would somebody please send me an auto.master file that works?. (And say what it does). I'd like info concerning both 4.0.3 and 4.1, but will take what I can get. Thanks in advance. steve baur@venice.SEDD.TRW.COM

Thanks in advance. > >steve baur@venice.SEDD.TRW.COM Here is what I have been able to kludge together with Sun's automount: The control files are the same for 4.0.x and 4.1, but the invocation is different. In 4.1 /etc/rc.local is acting from /etc. Hence the setup in my auto.master. In 4.0.3 it doesn't do this, hence add (cd /etc; automount -f .....; ) & echo -n ' automount' >/dev/console auto.master: /home auto.home rw,intr,bg,hard /- auto.direct rw,intr,bg,hard /net -hosts rw,intr,bg,hard /data auto.data rw,intr,bg,hard auto.home: hostb &:/export/home/& hosta &:/export/home/& hostc &:/export/home/& hostd &:/export/home/& * &:/home/& auto.direct: /dist hostb:& /explprod hosta:/dist/sun4/& /usr/ingres hosta:& auto.data: hosta \ /data1 hosta:/data/apctrc/data1 \ /data2 hosta:/data/apctrc/data2 hostd \ /data1 hostd:/export/data/data1 \ /data2 hostd:/export/data/data2 I haven't been able in 4.1 or 4.2 to get NIS/YP auto.master to be obeyed at all. But with the auto.master above all NIS clients can pick up the auto.home,direct,-hosts, and data from NIS maps if automount is started from /etc with automount -m -f /etc/auto.master. Why /etc/auto.master is required is beyond me. -tank- -- -tank- #include <std/disclaimer.h> /* nobody knows the trouble I .... */ tank@apctrc.trc.amoco.com ..!uunet!apctrc!tank
