I can mount my homedir this way:
# mount_nfs foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/003/p/pa/pauls /mnt/unix_home
I assume this means that this should work:
rfs:=/home/003/p/pa/${key}
And then I cd to /Home/pauls (there's a section in my amd.conf file named
[/Home] that has a corresponding map file amd.home which contains the syntax
for mapping the drive.
# cat /etc/amd.conf | grep -A3 Home
[/Home]
map_type =nfs
map_name =amd.home
mount_type =autofs
# cat /etc/amd.home
/defaults type:=nfs;opts:=tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid,umount,vers=3 \
rhost:olympus.utdallas.edu;rfs:=/home/003/p/pa/${key}
* fs=${autodir}/${key}
But that fails with a directory does not exist error.
But I can already map my home drive manually. What I'm trying to figure out is
how to use our ldap server to mount my home drive so that when/if it gets moved
again (which happens occasionally) it will still mount and not break.
The Linux construction is:
ldap //rhost/nismapname=auto_home,ldap_base,nfsvers=3,proto=tcp. I can't for
the life of me figure out how to get from that syntax to the amd syntax. But
since I can't even automount my home using what I thought was the right syntax
for amd, I guess I need to figure that out first.
