misc * -rw,sec=krb5,vers=3 /home/CACTUS/&
The question is what does the * stand for?
What it usually stands for - wildcard. In the manual page AUTOFS(5) it says <quote> Map Key Substitution An & character in the location is expanded to the value of the key field that matched the line (which probably only makes sense together with a wildcard key). Wildcard Key A * in the key field matches all keys. An example for the usefulness is the following entry: * &:/home/& This will enable you to access all the home directory of local hosts using the path /mountpoint/hostname/local-path. </quote> Please see the docuemntation.
