- I would like to use the automounter on all my Sun stations to mount
- the home directory of any other Sun if needed.
-
- so my passwd file could look like
-
- bob:...:/home/sun1/bob:...
- rob:...:/home/sun2/rob:...
- nob:...:/home/sun3/nob:...
- cob:...:/home/sun4/cob:...
-
- and my auto.home could look like
-
- sun1 &:/home/&
- sun2 &:/home/&
- sun3 &:/home/&
- sun4 &:/home/&
-
- and everyone could use NIS and everything would be wonderful.
-
- The only problem comes when someone logs into their own machine.
- The automounter mounts its own /home/`hostname` in /tmp_mnt
- and creates the link /home/`hostname` -> /tmp_mnt/home/`hostname`
- and you can't use that directory with the looping symbolic link.
-
- I am thinking that there would be a way to start automount with a
- command line option the would nullify its own line, but if there is
- the syntax doesn't leap out at me.
-
- Can anyone gave a suggestion?
-
- Email and I will summarize to the net if requested.
-
- Thanks, all...
