automount entries in vfstab?
wouldn't do that. Takes away the sense of automounter, doesn't it?
You use automounter when you want the OS to take care of managing the mounts, and an vfstab entry leaves the managing to you again.
Doesn't it?

Hello,
I was reading about automounting on Solaris10 and faced with the following sentence:
"When the automount daemon is initialized on the server, no exported directories are mounted by the clients."
What does it mean? Could you please explain? What is "exported directories" ?

PAWD(1) General Commands Manual PAWD(1)
NAME
pawd - print automounter working directory
SYNOPSIS
pawd [ path ... ]
DESCRIPTION
pawd is used to print the current working directory, adjusted to reflect proper paths that can be reused to go through the automounter for
the shortest possible path. In particular, the path printed back does not include any of Amd's local mount points. Using them is unsafe,
because Amd may unmount managed file systems from the mount points, and thus including them in paths may not always find the files within.
Without any arguments, pawd will print the automounter adjusted current working directory. With any number of arguments, it will print the
adjusted path of each one of the arguments.
