# Home directory map for automounter
#
tom     machineA:/export/home/&
*    machineA:/export/home/&
harry   machineA:/export/home/&

Now, each time you add a new user, you have to remember to update this file.

Is it possible to do something like:

*       machineA:/export/home/&

Is there any security hazard in doing so?

However, the admin on a particular system was in the habit of doing it the
hard way (adding a line for each new user) - and I wanted to know if there
was any good reason for doing it that way.  I.e., whether there was any
security hazard associated with using the wildcard like that.

Sounds like the answer is no.

Once you have multiple home partitions, you have to use a single
line per user.
