automounting

(OP)
I am trying to do NIS automount from are sun station to hp workstations. It is not working for me, the sun station is the nis server all the directoies are on the server. On the workstation side they see the auto_master, auto_home from the server but it is being ignored. what setting am a missing

RE: automounting

gtp36,
I presume that by now you have solved the automount problem.  If you did, then ignore this, if not then check the AUTOMOUNT configuration file: NFSCONF

For the HP, the file is located at: /etc/rc.config.d
This file stores the options for AUTOMOUNT
The comments inside the file will help setting up the options.
Example
                NFS_CLIENT=1
                NFS_SERVER=1
                  ..........
                AUTOMOUNT=1
                AUTO_MASTER="/etc/auto_master"
                AUTO_OPTIONS="-f $AUTO_MASTER"

Automount or AUTOFS should start next time you reboot the system.

Hope this helps.
