I have a Solaris 2.6 NIS server and = have recently=20 added some Redhat Linux hosts to it.

I have:

1 RH 7.3=20 machine

2 RH 3.0 = update=20 0

1 RH 3.0 = update=20 3

2 RH 4.0=20 machines

I have looked at this problem a lot, = and the=20 difference I see is that 7.3 and 3.0U0 use autofs 3.

The 4.0 and 3.0U3 machines use autofs=20 4

My problem is: When I moved some = users' home=20 directories to a different partition, the RH machines using autofs 4 had = to be=20 rebooted to pick up the changes. The solaris hosts and the 7.3 and = 3.0U0=20 (running autofs 3) picked up the changed locations magically like they = are=20 supposed to. The machines using autofs 4 had to be rebooted in = order to=20 pick up the changes. I tried everything I could think of to avoid = reboot,=20 because multiple users are on the the system at all times.

I stopped and restarted autofs and = ypbind--SEVERAL=20 times. Nothing worked.

So, who know the differences between = autofs 3 and=20 4, and what can I do to hosts running autofs 4 to get them to pick up = the NIS=20 changes without having to reboot?
