Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services
AutoFS Support
AutoFS Support
AutoFS is a client-side service that automatically mounts appropriate file systems when users request access to them. If an automounted file system has been idle for a period of time, AutoFS unmounts it. AutoFS uses name services such as files, NIS or NIS+ to store and manage AutoFS maps.
LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 supports the automount service under the AutoFS subsystem. This new feature allows users to store AutoFS maps in an LDAP directory server. .
