To enable Enhanced
AutoFS, perform the following steps:
In the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file, make sure the values for the NFS_CLIENT, AUTOMOUNT, and AUTOFS variables are set to 1; see the following:
NFS_CLIENT=1
AUTOMOUNT=1
AUTOFS=1 |
If you want to use a local file as your AutoFS master
map, make sure the value for the AUTO_MASTER variable in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf is set to the name of your AutoFS master map.
The default master map name is /etc/auto_master.
AUTO_MASTER=”/etc/auto_master” |
If you want to use an NIS AutoFS master map, remove -f $AUTO_MASTER from the AUTOMOUNT_OPTIONS variable.
To start AutoFS, issue the following command:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start |
When Enhanced AutoFS starts up, if your AUTOMOUNT_OPTIONS variable specifies a master map file with the -f filename option, Enhanced AutoFS searches for a file with
that name on the local host. Enhanced AutoFS can also use the Name
Service Switch to determine which name services you are using and
find the master maps that are available from those name services.
If your AUTOMOUNT_OPTIONS variable does not specify the -f filename option, Enhanced AutoFS checks the Name Service
Switch configuration to determine where to search for your AutoFS
master map.
For more information, see the following man pages: nsswitch.conf(4) or automount(1M).
