Subject: Problem with NIS maps
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 23:07:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4133F97E.8060509@cjs226.com> (raw)

I'm in a large heterogeneous environment located across multiple 
locations.  I use NIS maps such as:
/home -rw austin:/export/home boston:/export/home phoenix:/export/home

with the following in /etc/auto.master:
/nis      yp      auto_indirect_nis

With AIX and Solaris, automounter chooses the server with the fewest
hops to determine which server to mount from.  Unfortunately, it appears
Suse's 8.1 implementation of automounter (v3.1.7-556) seems to choose 
the first listed.

Has anyone run into this before?

Thanks, Clif
