I have set up TCP/IP and NFS and YP with SMIT, but there wasn't much support for the automounter, just two menu options, start and stop, for the automounter. Since 'start' didn't work I have tried the following things to fix it: Added auto.master to YP. "auto.master" contains "/net -hosts intr,nosuid" Ran "newkey -u root" and "newkey -h chocolate" to generate publickey.byname entries. Ran keyserv -n to generate /etc/.rootkey. Added /etc/site and YP'd it into site.byname. This is just an empty file, on our master YP server, does anyone know what goes in it? Anyway the error message I am now getting when I try "automount /net -hosts" is "Authentication error ... not owner" or something to the effect that secure RPC is failing.

It is difficult to offer specific recommendations based on vague reports of the error message you get. However, I can offer some suggestions: 1) Check the format and contents of your "auto.master" file against the recommendations in InfoExplorer. In particular, notice that auto.master consists of lines in the format: directory_path automount_map_name This file, then, points to other maps (files). 2) Make sure that you have added the two auto.master stanzas in /etc/yp/Makefile. 3) cd to /etc/yp and run 'make' to update all the maps. 4) On each server, confirm that you have the '-secure' option on each entry in /etc/exports. 5) On each client that wants to mount one of the secure filesystems, make sure that the corresponding stanza in /etc/filesystems has the '-secure' option. 6) A general tip: never use 'kill -9 PID' on the automounter deamon. Just use 'kill PID' to stop it. Russ Heise, AIX Technical Support, IBM
