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)

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 | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ 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. 3 Mar 2005 automountd(1M)
