- Are you guys talking about "amd" instead of Sun's automounter?
- I believe an "/-" entry in auto.master does not "match everything" for
- Sun's automounter, but rather simply indicates a direct map for the
- automounter.
-
- My auto.master looks like:
- #Mount-point Map Mount-options
- /home auto.home -rw,intr
- /usr/local/mnt auto.local -rw,intr
- /- auto.spool -rw,intr
- /net -hosts -rw,nosuid,intr
- and works fine with Sun's automounter (SunOS 4.1.1).
