autofs(4) autofs(4) NAME
autofs - file containing parameter values for automountd daemon and automount command SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/autofs The autofs file resides in directory /etc/default and supplies default parameters for the automountd(1M) daemon and the automount(1M) com- mand. The autofs file format is ASCII; comment lines begin with the crosshatch (#) character. Parameters consist of a keyword followed by an equal sign followed by the parameter value, of the form: keyword=value As shipped, the parameters in the autofs file are commented out. As root, you must uncomment a keyword-value line to make the value for that parameter take effect. Administrators can make changes to the startup parameters for automountd by logging in as root and editing the autofs file. Changes made to autofs values on an automount or automountd command line override values in /etc/default/autofs. The /etc/default/autofs file is preserved across operating system upgrades. The following parameters are currently supported in the autofs file: AUTOMOUNT_TIMEOUT=<num> Specifies a duration, in seconds, that a file system is to remain mounted when not in use. The default value is 600 (10 minutes). Equivalent to the -t option in automount. AUTOMOUNT_VERBOSE=TRUE | FALSE Verbose mode. Causes you to be notified of non-critical events, suchs as autofs mounts and unmounts. The default value is FALSE. Equiv- alent to the -v option in automount. AUTOMOUNTD_VERBOSE=TRUE | FALSE Verbose mode. Causes status messages to be logged to /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-autofs:default.log. (See smf(5).) The default value is FALSE. Equivalent to the -v option in automountd. AUTOMOUNTD_NOBROWSE=<num> Turn on or off browsing for all autofs mount points. The default value is FALSE. Equivalent to the -n option in automountd. AUTOMOUNTD_TRACE=<num> Expands each RPC call and logs it to /var/svc/log/system-filesystem-autofs:default.log. (See smf(5).) The default value, 0, turns off such tracing. Starting with 1, with each higher value, the verbosity of trace output increases. AUTOMOUNTD_ENV=<name>=<value> Environment variables. Each environment variable-value pairing must be on its own line. You can specify multiple such pairings. There are no environment variable settings supplied. For example: AUTOMOUNTD_ENV=DAY=TUES automount(1M), automountd(1M), smf(5) 2 Aug 2005 autofs(4)

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).
