If there is (a way to use the *identical* map for AMD and AUTOMOUNT)
I havn't found it.
We use a perl script to automaticly convert the automount maps into
AMD maps, and use the makefile to automaticly push them out...
Works pretty well, too. We have a huge direct-mount map:
bash$ ypcat amd.master | grep 'type:=direct' | wc
139 278 3475
And we have a bunch of other maps too:
bash$ ypcat amd.master | grep -v 'type:=direct' | wc
13 13 124
One of which automounts everyone's home directory:
bash$ ypcat amd.homes | wc
920 2923 60867
