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

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	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       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.
