Here is some info that I had put together a while ago to answer a similar question about automounting home directories. The sun386 uses YP to distribute the automounter maps. We have a hetrogenous network consisting of sun386's, Sparcs and a sun3/260. The YP master is a sun386. I have included copies of the YP maps for the automounter which you may find of use. cheers Henry Balen <balen@uk.co.camscan> Camscan, Saxon Way, Bar Hill, Cambridge CB3 8SL, UK. The configuration is: hermes a sun386 YP master server and file server (exports local ...) eurynome a sun3/260 file server (exports some home directorys) rhiannon a sun386 file server (exports some home directorys) When a user logs on to the various machines their home directory will be mounted as /home/username ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # auto.master # # DIRECTORY MAP MOUNT OPTIONS /net -hosts -intr,nosuid /home auto.home -intr,nosuid /vol auto.vol -intr,nosuid /nse /etc/auto.nse /repl auto.repl -ro ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # auto.vol # help -ro hermes:/export/vol/help help.master hermes:/export/vol/help local -rw hermes:/export/vol/local local.master hermes:/export/vol/local sundesk -rw hermes:/export/vol/sundesk src -rw hermes:/export/vol/src archives -rw eurynome:/export/vol/archives ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #auto.home # here are just a few lines from the auto.home balen eurynome:/export/home/software/bale jennifer eurynome:/export/home/software/jennifer alasdair eurynome:/export/home/software/alasdair phil rhiannon:/export/home/hardware/phil darryl rhiannon:/export/home/hardware/darryl garry rhiannon:/export/home/hardware/garry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A soft link is set on the various servers to export the home directorys ie on eurynome there is a soft link from /export/home/software/balen to /files1/home/software/balen and the following entry in the /etc/exports file: /export/home/software/balen -access=domain This assumes that there is a netgroup called domain set up in the netgroup YP file.
