Jon, thanks very much for your reply. Finding documentation on this has been rather difficult.
Setup on my clients (I removed the 'auto.misc' stuff here. That's irrelevant right now):
# > cat /etc/auto.master +auto_master
Mine now looks exactly like the above.
# > ypcat -k auto.master /home auto.home -nosuid,noquota
Mine looks like: # ypcat -k auto.master +auto_master /home auto_home -nobrowse /xfn -xfn /net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
# > cat /etc/auto.home +auto_home
Mine now looks exactly like the above.
# > ypcat -k auto.home foo -rw,intr,nosuid,noquota host_foo:/export/home
Mine looks like: # ypcat -k auto.home +auto_home projects www:/export/projects listserv moby:/export/newhome/listserv . . . (The NIS master runs Solaris; I wonder if something is different in the fields automount is expecting?)
I can't recall right now if there was any magic in addition to this. It's been a while since I set up these maps. Just try my setup and see if that solves your problem. If not, just send me a mail, and I'll dig deeper in my setup.
With the above configuration, automount does not start when I run autofs start, and the following information is captured to the messages file: Apr 3 13:34:08 sevengill automount[7971]: starting automounter version 3.1.3, path = automount, maptype = -t, mapname = 300 Apr 3 13:34:08 sevengill automount[7971]: Map argc = 4 Apr 3 13:34:08 sevengill automount[7971]: Map argv[0] = 300 Apr 3 13:34:08 sevengill automount[7971]: Map argv[1] = /home Apr 3 13:34:08 sevengill automount[7971]: Map argv[2] = yp Apr 3 13:34:08 sevengill automount[7971]: Map argv[3] = /etc/auto.home Apr 3 13:34:08 sevengill automount[7971]: cannot open lookup module -t (/usr/lib/autofs//lookup_-t.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Thanks very much for your help.
