Operating Systems Solaris NIS Automounts not mounting Post 302903607 by MadeInGermany on Wednesday 28th of May 2014 02:49:11 PM

The Solaris automounter has a magic _ and . mapping. If you specify auto.home it looks for auto.home first then for auto_home - and vice versa.
Nothing shows up under /home because there is 1. -nobrowse option for the auto.home map and 2. it can only "browse" the 3 real user entries - not the other users that match in the * wildcard. E.g. /home/userx does not show up, but a cd /home/userx will attempt to mount mdc1:/pool/home/userx
Once it is mounted, it will show up for some time.
I guess that /export/home/opt/yp/ holds the source files for the NIS maps, and that your current system is the NIS master server.
To clarify please give results of the following commands:
Code:
ypcat -k auto.home
ypcat -k ypservers
