All the responses combined lead to the solution. Basically :
1) - I added an entry in the NIS auto_master on the server as " /-
auto_direct -nosuid "
2) - Created two entries in the auto_direct file on the server also as "
/abc dummy:/export/home/abc" and " /def dummy:/export/home/def"
restarted the automount service with automount -v.
3) - Then I copied the same files to all the client machines and now I have
directories being mounted automatically.
Logically, I think I should not have had to copy these scripts to client
machines as long as all the client machines have " +auto_master" in their
auto_master files ( it tells the client to check the entries on the server
when in an NIS environment) but for some reason that did not happen. So, I
had to copy them on all client machines but it works !
Original Message :
Folks, I have two folders that I want to make available to all my NIS
clients. I have shared these folders in the dfstab and I can mount them
manually from any client machine. But I want these to be available
automatically to all the users. For that, I understand that I need to add
these in the auto_master file. I did that but it does not work. There were 3
exiting entries for /net, /home /and /xfn, they work fine.
Here is how I added those folders in the file:
/abc dummy:/export/home/abc
/def dummy:/export/home/def
after that I restarted the automount daemon ( even rebooted the server ! )
but nothing happened..... am I doing right ?
