Very Computer

        I am working in a Solaris 2.6/Red Hat 6.2 environment. The
Solaris systems use NIS and automount to handle accounts/home
directories. I'm trying to run amd-utils to accomplish the
automounting of the home directories on one of the Red Hat systems
but I cant seem to get it work. NIS seems to be working fine. I can
rlogin from the other systems, and groups work fine. ypcat/which/etc.
return map information with proper flags. However it won't automount
the home dirs located on the Sun, when I log into the Linux1 system I
get:

no directory /export/home/username
loging in with home = "/"

        Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should get them
talking. Amd doesn't seem to copy the NIS map files into its auto.home
auto.net all attempts at manual configuration haven't worked:

ex.
username        nis/nfsserver:/export/home/&

        I've tried numerous combinations for the maps manually.

Any Ideas?

Specifics:
am-utils-6.0.3-1 installed w/ rpm.
Red Hat 6.2
Kernel 2.2.14-5.0
NIS/NSF server is Solaris 6.2

Thanks,
Scott

We are using autofs which works very fine.

There are just two little problems in the /etc/(rc.d)/init.d/autofs
script (for both RedHat and Debian):

- there is a 'else' after the test of /etc/auto.master, and we use
  both local and NIS masters. If you use NIS only, remove this file,
  else, change the script.

- on Sun, we have a double indirection: the NIS auto.master points to
  /etc/auto.xx, which points to NIS auto.xxx. So, we changed the 'sed'
  call to:

        sed -e 's/^auto_/auto./' -e 's:/etc/::'
