In-Reply-To: Message from David Wolfskill of "Tue, 11 May 1999 09:43:54 PDT." <199905111643.JAA20152@pau-amma.whistle.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 13:04:48 -0400 From: Robert Withrow Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Thanks for the reply. dhw@whistle.com said: :- So I implemented a set of NIS maps, along with an "amd.master" map. Yes, I do that. This is a big sun site, so I have a perl script that takes the existing NIS automounter maps and converts them to AMD maps which also get stuck into NIS. To give you and idea: bash-2.01$ ypcat amd.master | wc 175 322 4627 bash-2.01$ ypcat amd_bne_home | wc 1350 2868 67877 And that is just the beginning. Because of this I can't use things like your amd.n because I would have to have these selectors on each mountpoint, of which there are thousands. I could, I suppose, have the /defaults have the selectors and enable the appropriate switch in AMD, but that doesn't feel right. It seems like one should be able to override mount options locally... :- One of the things that's on my plate is to have a net-visible place :- for things that resemble /usr/local things (and that really should be :- kept in one place), while having /usr/local reside on each local :- machine (so that folks installing ports don't stomp all over each :- other). We call that /usr/global. -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 978 916 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
