Automount options

[Liz Beresford]

Dear RedHat users,

I would like to setup my machines so that the automounter can use both
an NIS and a local auto.home file.

Under solaris the following syntax applies:
/etc/auto_master:
# Master map for automounter
#
+auto_master
/net            -hosts          -nosuid,nobrowse
/home           auto_home       -nobrowse
/xfn            -xfn

/etc/auto_home:
# Home directory map for automounter
#

po                      localhost:/var
local                   localhost:/var/local

+auto_home

So,  the auto_home map has both local mounts and also uses the NIS
auto_home (+auto_home).

I have tried various attempts for achieving a similar thing under redhat
but with no success:
I changed the auto.master file to point to a local auto.home file and
tried to used the + syntax to indicate the NIS auto.home file but it did
not work.

Has anyone else successfully achieved what I am trying to do?

Many thanks for any help received.

Regards
Liz Beresford.
