RE: NIS home automount feature

have you already tried not having a /etc/ in your auto.master file

and then add a line your /etc/auto.master file like below:
home    auto.home

or better yet

home    auto.home --ghost ( the --ghost option shows placeholders for all
your possible mounts)

Hello,

If I am understanding you correctly, you want to edit the automount field
in
/etc/nsswitch.conf to read nis first. I may be wrong, and I'm sure someone
will correct me if that is the case.

Subject: NIS home automount feature

Howdy,


I setup a test NIS domain that i'd like to test the home automounting
feature so basically i done this;

-Setup the NIS server and domain, make changes on Makefile to include
auto.master, auto.home
-had the client successfully connected to new NIS domain.

 on  NIS/NFS  server i added this on /etc/auto.master file;

/home            /etc/auto.home

on /etc/auto.home i have this;

*              nfsserver:/home

Now my problem is, how would i force/setup the client that it would use the
auto{master,home} files on NIS server rather than using the locally same
files, pointers and correction greatly appreciated.
