Hello,

On a Redhat ES 3 system I am creating automounted nfs directories.
BTW, I am not using NIS (just NFS and autofs).

/etc/exports
/usr1/home *(rw,async,wdelay,no_root_squash)
/usr2/pub *(rw,async,wdelay,no_root_squash)

/etc/auto.master
/home auto.home --timeout=60
/pub auto.pub --timeout=60

/etc/auto.home
user1 -fstype=nfs,soft,intr srv1:/usr1/home/user1
user2 -fstype=nfs,soft,intr srv1:/usr1/home/user2
...

/etc/auto.pub
pub -rw,fstype=nfs,soft,intr srv1:/usr2/pub

My /home automount is working fine. The requirement for /pub is for
it to be "wide open" though, that is unlike /home which has an entry
in auto.home for each user, /pub is just a shared folder for all to
create files and directories off /pub itself. Users want to access it
by going directly to /pub (i.e., cd /pub).

I have scoured Redhat and the internet and still am not clear on how
to achieve this.

What can you advise?

Thanks,

Michael
