Re: [TCLUG:15357] automount + yp == trouble

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

ok.. it looks like you forgot to configure the auto.master on your client
system.. it's a simple change.. simply tell it to grab home's from the NIS
server..

+auto.master
/home		auto.home

since the path is not absolute, it will check with NIS first.. just make
sure you add that, /etc/init.d/autofs reload, and make sure /home is empty
so it doesn't try and overwrite the old mounts

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
