Hi! This is probably very easy but I can neither figure it out or use Google.. Anyway, this is what I want to achieve: Our local network (10.0.0.0) server exports /home and /work directories and desktop workstations with static IPs can mount them all ok over NFS. I have a laptop that is using DHCP and autofs. In our local network autofs mounts work all ok with the config below. However, when I go out to a different network where those directories are not available, I would like autofs to figure that out and not to try mount them and cause jams. What should the script output if those mounts are available? I am asking this because I've tried almost everything and I am just getting bizarre results like directory /var/autofs/(null)/home, /var/autofs/hithere/work, etc. I want to mount available mounts under /var/autofs so that they would be /var/autofs/home and /var/autofs/work but that seems not to work. The autofs configuration that works perfectly in our local network is the following. /etc/auto.master: /var/autofs /etc/auto.local --timeout=30,--ghost And /etc/auto.local: home -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,intr 10.0.0.1:/home work -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,intr 10.0.0.1:/work But, as said, if I turn auto.local as an executable script that outputs lines like those I just get those silly results with mounts. Thanks, Dan. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
