Title
Is there a way to build multimount entries in NIS automount maps ? -
Description
Need to build a multi-mount entry into an NIS map stored in AD, but QAS doesn't appear to support having a return character or \ in a key's value. I have tried editing directly in ADUC and using nisedit, and neither allows return characters. An example of a multimount entry is: server -rw,hard,intr / -ro myserver.me.org:/ \ /usr myserver.me.org:/usr \ /home myserver.me.org:/home (taken from http://linux.die.net/man/5/autofs) -
Cause
Multi-value works. However, importing using \ to continue a line will not work. -
Resolution
Yes, there is a way. Please see below:
nisedit -u administrator -w Test123 dump -m automount
server -rw,hard,intr / -ro myserver.me.org:/ /usr myserver.me.org:/usr /home myserver.me.org:/home$ cat nserver -rw,hard,intr / -ro myserver.me.org:/ /usr myserver.me.org:/usr /home myserver.me.org:/home
