NAME

     autofs.conf -- automount(8) and automountd(8) configuration file

DESCRIPTION

     The autofs.conf file specifies various configuration options for automount(8) and automountd(8).

     autofs.conf consists of a series of lines, each of which may contain a line that sets a parameter, a comment, or a blank line.

     A line that sets a parameter has the format:
	   parameter=value
     A ``#'' is the comment character, and all characters from it to the end of line are ignored.

     The parameters that are supported are:

     AUTOMOUNT_TIMEOUT
		   The number of seconds after which an automounted file system will be unmounted if it hasn't been referred to within that period
		   of time.  The default is 10 minutes (600 seconds).  This is equivalent to the -t option in automount(8).

     AUTOMOUNT_VERBOSE
		   TRUE or FALSE; if TRUE, automount(8) will print more detailed information about the actions it takes.  This is equivalent to
		   the -v option to automount(8).

     AUTOMOUNTD_VERBOSE
		   TRUE or FALSE; if TRUE, automountd(8) will log to syslogd(8) more detailed information about the actions it takes.  This is
		   equivalent to the -v option to automountd(8).

     AUTOMOUNTD_NOBROWSE
		   TRUE or FALSE; if TRUE, automountd(8) will disable browsing of all maps.  This is equivalent to the -n option to automountd(8).

     AUTOMOUNTD_TRACE
		   The trace level for logging information about requests received by automountd(8) from autofs, processing done for those
		   requests, and replies sent to autofs.  The default level of 0 causes no information to be logged; each higher value causes more
		   information to be logged.  This controls the same trace level that the -T option to automountd(8) controls.	The trace is
		   logged to /var/log/system.log

     AUTOMOUNTD_MNTOPTS
		   A string containing a comma-separated list of mount options that will be applied, by default, to all mounts done by
		   automountd(8).  The options for a particular mount can override these options.  This controls the same options that the -o
		   option to automountd(8)

     AUTOMOUNTD_NOSUID
		   TRUE or FALSE; if TRUE, automountd(8) will force all mounts to have the "nosuid" mount option set.

     AUTOMOUNTD_ENV
		   A string of the form
			 name=value
		   that causes the environment variable name to be set to the value value in automountd(8).  Environment variables can be referred
		   to in map entries; the value of the environment variable is substituted for the reference to the variable.  This is equivalent
		   to the -D option to automountd(8).

NAME

       automountd - autofs mount/unmount daemon

SYNOPSIS

       automountd [-Tvn] [-D name=value]

       automountd  is  an  RPC server that answers file system mount and unmount requests from the autofs file system. It uses local files or name
       service maps to locate file systems to be mounted. These maps are described with the automount(1M) command.

       If automount finds any non-trivial entries in either the local or distributed automount maps and if the daemon is not running already,  the
       automountd  daemon is automatically invoked by automount(1M). automountd enables the svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr service (lockd(1M)), and the
       svc:/network/nfs/status service (statd(1M)), if NFS mounts need to be done.

       At startup, the automountd daemon is invoked as is invoked as the system/filesystem/autofs:default service. See .

       The following options are supported:

       -D name=value   Assign value to the indicated automount map substitution variable. These assignments cannot be used to substitute variables
		       in the master map auto_master.

       -n	       Turn off browsing for all autofs mount points. This option overrides the -browse autofs map option on the local host.

       -T	       Trace. Expand each RPC call and display it on the standard output.

       -v	       Verbose. Log status messages to the console.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of automountd when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

       /etc/auto_master        Master map for automounter.

       /etc/default/autofs     Supplies default values for parameters for automount and automountd. See autofs(4).

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       svcs(1), automount(1M), svcadm(1M), autofs(4), attributes(5), largefile(5), smf(5)

       The automountd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/system/filesystem/autofs

       Administrative  actions	on  this  service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
       vice's status can be queried using svcs(1). If it is disabled, it is enabled by automount(1M) unless the  application/auto_enable  property
       is set to false.
