NIS Automount Issue

[Sridhar]

Hi All

     I have a NIS server running on HPUX 11.23. When I create a account with Automount after that the maps for auto.home is not updating even after running ypmake command several time.. Can some tell how to update the maps for auto.home

On your NIS server, try doing a 'ypcat auto.home' to see if it sees the changes. If it does, log onto your NIS client machine, and execute the 'automount' command (with no parameters) as root.

Hope that helps,

Ypcat auto.home is showing the list but its not updating if i make any modification in /etc/auto.home file.

I have even executed ypmake command to rebuild the maps but its not updating

Hi Sridhar,

When I make updates to my NIS automount file (auto_home), I execute the following commands on the NIS server (as root)...

# cd /var/yp                                                # Important to do this

# /usr/ccs/bin/make auto.home

Then on all NIS clients (as root)...

# automount

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Gary
