Automounting user (NIS) accounts from Solaris to debian
I have here a Sun Ultra 1 running debian linux 3.0
neko@papaya:~$ uname -a
Linux papaya 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64 unknown
neko@papaya:~$
which is currently a nis client of a Solaris 8 box. I would also
like to be able to use, say, autofs to mount user partitions in the
debian box. How to do that? I did not go very far besides
installing the package (as in apt-get install autofs) and I created
a /etc/auto.home and modified /etc/auto.master as follows (stolen off
a solaris client which has automount running in the very same net):
papaya:/home/neko# more /etc/auto.master /etc/auto.home
::::::::::::::
/etc/auto.master
::::::::::::::
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
/var/autofs/misc /etc/auto.misc
/var/autofs/net /etc/auto.net
# Biostat
+auto_master
/usr/users auto.home
::::::::::::::
/etc/auto.home
::::::::::::::
+auto_home
papaya:/home/neko#
Then I started autofs:
papaya:/home/neko# /etc/init.d/autofs reload
Reloading automounter: checking for changes ... done.
Starting automounter: /var/autofs/misc /var/autofs/net /usr/usersdone.
papaya:/home/neko# ps aux | grep autofs
root 2792 0.0 0.2 1544 600 pts/0 S 17:05 0:00 grep autofs
papaya:/home/neko#
(nice that autofs does not seem to be running... or I am missing something)
But, I seem to be missing something here. Could anyone point me what
I am doing wrong?
