Hello..

I stink at NIS!
Im having a problem with NIS on solaris 2.X. / SPARC

I have some maps that are exported to all clients in the domain. Now I setup a new server and add it as a nis client to the domain. On the NIS server there is a auto_direct map that mounts /usr/local . This is great for all clients except the server that i am adding (that needs a diffrent /usr/local/). Is there a way to tell nis not to export the auto_direct map to just my host.
Thanks in advance

No,

This is what you tell your client.
Just change /etc/auto_master
This is where you specify (or in one of it's mentioned local files) to get it's info from NIS.

Don't make such a remarks if you are the one that does not know the answer. Don't blame NIS.

I know, it was just a joke.

I know that once you can't get things to work, sometimes frustration hits you.

I also put a smiley in, but it dropped down to the bottom a bit too much.

Good luck !!
