I'd hate to have to maintain multiple sets of automount > maps. We use a homegrown perl script for just this. There are other awk and perl scripts around that do the same. Our script starts with auto.master and converts all the maps there, including direct and host maps, into amd file maps. I am about to integrate this so the output is NIS maps that get automaticly pushed out whenver the automount maps are changed. Send me mail at bwithrow@baynetworks.com if you want me to send you that script. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
