automount to accept multiple maps of NIS
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:06:53 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: Linux automount do support NIS maps if /etc/auto.master is as follows: /home yp:auto.home.prod /home yp:auto.home.dev However the 2nd entry can't be imported to automount. It seems there is one map could be imported for /home. Please suggest how to import multiple maps. In our enviroment, we have 6 to 7 groups of NIS maps. It is tendious to put into one map as there are other UNIX clients. Please suggest how to put Linux automount to get the multiple groups maps to be able to feed into automount. Even I configure the automount as follows: /etc/auto.master : /home /etc/auto.home /etc/auto.home : /home yp:auto.home.dev /home yp:auto.home.prod It is failed for such config. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.7-21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create NIS maps auto.home.prod and auto.home.dev on NIS master server. 2.create /etc/auto.master as described above. 3.start automountd Actual Results: Fail on automount map on auto.home.dev Expected Results: The map for auto.home.dev should be mounted. Additional info:
The automount in Solaris or AIX can be imported multiple NIS maps. However it seems Linux doesn't. It would be better to make it workable for such style as Solaris/AIX does.
Internal RFE #111304 entered, will be considered for future releases.
