It is not about NIS-configured maps, the +auto.master uses /etc/nsswitch.conf mechanism. It is documented as such in /etc/auto.master file, but I don't see any mentions of this in man 5 auto.master. Maybe we're talking about the default value for 'automount' nsswitch.conf line? Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
