autofs error trying to enable it-SUSE 9.3
I just installed 9.3 and setup my /home and it is working. BUT my /home2, windows/E../F../G are not mounted I am not seeing all my mount points being loads at bootup, and I found that autofs was not enabled. When I try to enable it I get this error: /etc/init.d/autofs start returned 6 (program is not configured): Starting service automounter ("files nis" does not provide any mounts)..skipped what do I do now?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

You need to configure the auto.master file found in your /etc dirctory. Once you set it up, it wil work like a champ. I have the following setup : /etc/auto.master # # $Id: auto.master,v 1.3 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $ # # Sample auto.master file # This is an automounter map and it has the following format # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location # For details of the format look at autofs(5). /home /etc/auto.home -rw,soft,intr --timeout 30 #/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=30 /misc /etc/auto.misc -rw,soft,intr --timeout 30 /net /etc/auto.net -rw,soft,intr --timeout 30 /etc/auto.homecrab:~ # more /etc/auto.home apache crab:/export/home0/& apps crab:/export/home0/& apps_admin crab:/export/home0/& cvs crab:/export/home0/& dad crab:/export/home0/& loo crab:/export/home0/& mysql crab:/export/home0/& shinohara crab:/export/home0/& windows crab:/export/home0/& This will then automatically mount and umount your files to /home or whatever.
