Autofs questions

["Jerry Feldman-2" <user=4@nabble.blu.org>]

 I just set up autofs on our servers in our office. One issue is that 
direct mounting does not work in Linux: 
eg. in auto.master: 
/-   /etc/auto.direct 

in auto.direct: 
/foo -fstype nfs,rw,xxx  server:path 

But, I can achieve this using yp. While I have seen some references to 
using NIS(yp) to mount home directories, I have not found a decent 
online reference either in the Red Hat documentation tree or otherwise. 

The main directory tree I wanted automounted works fine, but I have 1 
direct, and also /home. I can do /home easily with: 
*          -fstype=nfs,rw,nosuid,soft     server:/home/& 
(actually, I would probably use sync and hard as options). 

But, I think for /home, using yp would be a better way to go, but I 
only have 10 users, and we would be adding or removing maybe 1 or 2 per 
year. I only have 1 directory I want automounted, but there is no 
problem putting that into fstab on the clients.
