We've been using NIS-based automounter maps for ages, using a Solaris NIS server. Some of our machines use autofs type maps, and some use amd, notably the FreeBSD boxes. As part of a move to single sign-on I've implemented a NIS server using Microsoft's Services for Unix installed on an Active Directory domain controller, and (painfully) created the automounting maps. The autofs-using machines are OK, but amd just doesn't want to play. It seems to be OK about the top-level "master" map, but not the ones referenced by that. As an experiment I've mixed file-based and NIS maps. My rc.conf contains: >amd_enable=3D"YES" >amd_map_program=3D"cat /usr/local/etc/amd.master" >amd_flags=3D"-x all -D info -l syslog:local7" /usr/local/etc/amd.master contains: >/home amd.home >/mp /usr/local/etc/amd.mp >/net /usr/local/etc/amd.net >/users /usr/local/etc/amd.users When the machine starts I get: >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[408]: /mp: disabling nfs congestion window >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[410]: /users: disabling nfs congestion = window >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[411]: /net: disabling nfs congestion window >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[409]: /home: disabling nfs congestion = window >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[407]: first time load of map = /usr/local/etc/amd.mp >succeeded >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[407]: /usr/local/etc/amd.mp mounted fstype = toplvl o >n /mp >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[407]: first time load of map = /usr/local/etc/amd.use >rs succeeded >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[407]: /usr/local/etc/amd.users mounted = fstype toplv >l on /users >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[407]: first time load of map = /usr/local/etc/amd.net > succeeded >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[407]: /usr/local/etc/amd.net mounted fstype= toplvl >on /net >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[407]: No source data for map amd.home >Jan 11 11:52:30 speyburn amd[407]: amd.home mounted fstype toplvl on = /home So the file-based ones work fine, but the single NIS map, amd.home, does not. And yet if I do a "ypcat -k amd.home" I get exactly the same as when I was talking to the Solaris NIS server - but it just doesn't work. If I replace it with a file with the same contents, it works fine. Aaargh! I've looked at the source of amd but my C experience is 15 years old now and I'm struggling a bit!
