NIS home automount feature

[nilesh vaghela]

If the /home is mounting point than this will not work.

 /home should be the directory only.

Just say df will tell you the things.

you entry in automounter is rong.

need some thing like


on /etc/auto.home i have this;

*              nfsserver:/home/&

will work now.

Please let us know it this work or not.
