[SunHELP] Automount Help...

[Howard Hurst]

I'm really struggling to get my head around automount....and would
appreciate some help please! I'm running Solaris 8.

I'm trying to set up my NIS domain so that all the clients have access to
the Sybase files in /usr/apps/sybase when all the actual physical files are
on my NIS Master in the /usr/local/sybase directory.

host:/usr/local/sybase
client:/usr/apps/sybase

So what would entries would I need to enter in the following files on the
NIS Master?

/etc/auto_apps
/etc/auto_master

and

/var/yp/nis_files/auto_apps
/var/yp/nis_files/auto_master

Like I said, I'm really struggling to get my head round it - if someone has
some sort of "newbie guide to automounts" or knows of a website explaining
the ins and outs of automounts could you let me know?

Cheers,

Howard.
