I have an automaster entry like this.But it looks like i'm not able to access the home.Please let me know what is wrong.
# more /etc/auto_master
/net -hosts -nosuid,soft,nobrowse
/homes amdx.homes

amdx.homes is a nis map.

Thanks in advance

Shalom,

So much useful information.

Perhaps compare your auto_master file to one on a system that works? Or is this the first time.

Yes , this is the first system that we are going to use native automount (so far we have used berkly amd) on hpux system with home directoy as nis maps.

Could some one please give me an example entry that uses automount for home directory in a nis based systems

Navin,

You haven't given us much to go on.

1. Is the system the NIS master, slave or client?
2. What does the file amdx.homes contain?
3. Where is amdx.homes?
4. Is your automaster file really 'automaster' or 'auto_master' or 'auto.master'.
5. What about your /etc/nsswitch.conf file? What does it contain?
6. If this is the NIS client, are you sure that the contents of the amdx.homes map is exported on the server?

All these questions are important and without this information, your question cannot be answered.
