In addition to the previous comments. A typical /etc/auto_home for use on a single machine where you really want home directories in /home would be:

Code:
*    hostname:/export/home/&

Where hostname it either the actual hostname of the machine or 'localhost'

protocols.map(4)					     Kernel Interfaces Manual						  protocols.map(4)

NAME
protocols.map - Specifies node names for protocols configured on your machine. SYNOPSIS
/var/adm/sendmail/protocols.map DESCRIPTION
This file contains the Phase IV, Phase V, UUCP, and X25 node names for your system if the respective protocols are running on your machine. The format of the file is as follows: protocols?Phase_IV_name?Phase_V_name?UUCP_name?X25_name. The string between the delimeters (?) is empty if a particular protocol is not running on your machine. If no protocols are running on your machine, the file contains the follow- ing string: protocols???? If you are generating the hostname.m4 configuration file manually, you must update the protocols.map file manually as well. If your system is a member of a TruCluster Server cluster, you must maintain or create the protocols.map file as a Context-Dependent Symbolic Link (CDSL). See the System Administration guide for more information. In addition, your hostname.m4 configuration file is instead named after the cluster alias, i.e., cluster_alias.m4. The following parame- ters in the hostname.m4 file affect the protocols.map file: If you have defined or updated this parameter in your hostname.m4 file, you must specify the UUCP_name parameter in the protocols.map file. Use your system's UUCP host name. If you have defined or updated this parameter in your hostname.m4 file, you must specify the Phase_IV_name parameter in the protocols.map file. Also, if you have defined any nicknames for DECnet PhaseIV node name in the _My Nicknames parameter of your hostname.m4 file, you must add them to the protocols.map file below the protocols entry as follows: phaseiv: nickname If you enter more than one nickname, put a space between each nickname. You also need to add your DECnet PhaseIV node address as follows: phaseivaddr: address If you have defined or updated this parameter in your hostname.m4 file, you must specify the Phase_V_name parameter in the protocols.map file. Also, if you have defined any nicknames for DECnet PhaseV node name in the _My Nicknames parameter of your hostname.m4 file, you need to add them to the protocols.map file below the protocols entry as follows: phasev: nickname If you enter more than one nick- name, put a space between each nickname. If you have defined or updated this parameter in your hostname.m4 file, you must specify the X25_name parameter in the protocols.map file. Use your system's unqualified node name. RELATED INFORMATION
