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. .

AutoFS Patch Requirement

In order to enable the LDAP support for AutoFS, you must install the AutoFS patch or Enhanced AutoFS version on your client system shown in Table 2-3:
