well read the threads still confused.

I have on server.domain.com autofs, NIS, portmapper and NFS running. I can login to any client as the NIS users, but of course no home drive. I am trying to get the home drive from the server.domain.com

auto.master on server.domain.com
/home /etc/auto.home

auto.home on server.domain.com and on client.domain.com
* -defaults,nousid server.domain.com:/home/&

what else do i need to do here? and does anyone know a good howto or walkthrough for autofs? I searched the web on autofs, auto.master, auto.home and really didnt find any that talked about the whole user (&) variable???

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
