Does anyone out there know of any Automounter
"how to's" on the net? Or is anyone out there
willing to help me set this thing up off list? I
have the O'Reilly NIS/NFS book, but it's really
not that clear, and there is absolutely zero mention
of the Automounter in my copy of the FreeBSD
Handbook (although I will look to see if someone
has updates it since I got it). I have a "regular"
usage and an "odd" usage for it. There is a single
high-speed file server holding the user directories
under /usr/home. On half a dozen machines, I just
need it to mount as /usr/home/whatever on demand.
But on one machine, we have our file space organized
by projects, so that each project has a group directory:
/projectA/
project_directory
user_a
user_b
user_c
/projectA/
project_directory
user_d
user_a <--- note that users can appear on more
than 1
user_x project.
I want their home directory to appear in whatever project they are
logged into. Also, is there anything like a group password in
FreeBSD (yes, I know it is a Bad Idea...).
Thank you all!
Jane.
