I think what I want is provided by the replicated server feature but I can't get it to work.

I want to search multiple map files that refer to the same mount point.
e.g  in the auto.master file can I do something like:

/home   yp:auto.home1,ldap:nisMapName=auto.home2,ou=mygroup,o=mycompany

If it can't find the entry in auto.home1 then query auto.home2


Maybe something like (the old method):
/home   multi: yp:auto.home1 -- ldap:nisMapName=auto.home2,ou=mygroup,o=mycompany

should do it.

But you should also be able to use:
In /etc/nsswitch.conf
automount: files nis ldap

and in /etc/auto.master:
/home /etc/auto.home

and in /etc/auto.home
+auto.home1
+auto.home2

If entries in your maps are all fully qualified you should be able to
set "automount: files" in /etc/nsswitch and in /etc/auto.home do:
+yp:auto.home1
+ldap:nisMapName=auto.home2,ou=mygroup,o=mycompany

Ian, neither of these work. Looks like the first suggestion is supposed to work with autofs 4 & the second is supported in autofs 5? I'm running rhel4 update 7 which has both autofs 4.1.3-234 & 5.0.1-0.rc2.88 installed.

Any other suggestions that I could try?
