Error accessing a File when using Automount

Paul Mai — Tue, 08 Jun 2004 04:01:34 GMT

Hello everyone,

I got the following Error when trying to access a file on another system via automount (/net)

Action Error: There are no actions defined for BROKEN_LINK

This error only occurs for this particular file, but not with the rest

Any idea why this is occuring and how to resolve it?

I had already tried restarting the automount daemon to read in all automount maps, but the problem does not go away... sigh

Thanks for your time

There error seems to point to the file as the problem. Can you access this file directly on the system it's located? It appears to be a linked file. Use ll to check it out.

For instance:
# ll /etc/wtmp
lrwxr-xr-t 1 root sys 13 Jun 21 2000 /etc/wtmp -> /var/adm/wtmp
# ll /var/adm/wtmp
-rw-rw-rw- 1 adm adm 213420 Jun 8 07:34 /var/adm/wtmp

Check permissions, owner, group and access to the file.
