Very Computer

We use SunOS 4.1.1.
Whenever I update the "auto.direct" yellow pages map,
I need to reboot the clients for they will be able to "see" the change.
I tried reinvoke automount, but it didn't help. Only "fastboot" on client helps.

By the way, I did not forget to cd /var/yp and make in the master host.

                        Thanks in advance

My advice: keep your use of direct maps to a minimum.  Use a direct map entry only
if an indirect map entry is not appropriate.  Indirect maps are *much* easier to
update and no action need be taken on clients for new entries to be "seen".

Prepare a direct map, make it represent the mount point /a.direct and
leave symbolic links all over the system to point to it :-( Not a
perfect but should work.
