Re: Autofs

["Dinesh Parmar" <dinesh@ftghome.com>]

Here is the requested information

I am able to get maps using ypcat -k auto.home & ypcat auto.xyz but not by
auto_home & auto_xyz(gives error as server does not have these maps).

The kernel is Linux 2.4.18-3 version & autofs is 1.4.

The only thing which i tried was to specify the maps in auto.master,

more /etc/auto.master

home       auto.home    -nosuid,nodev
xyz        auto.xyz     -nosuid.nodev

Thanks
-dinesh
