All,

I am trying to do something with the automounter that I can't figure out 
how to do.  I want to automount /home from an NFS server.  So far, the only 
thing I have gotten to work is mounting /home/$user, but this isn't 
acceptable in my case, for this is a NIS master and I need to be able to 
create new directories in /home with adduser as necessary.

Right now, my /etc/amd/master looks like this:

/home /etc/amd/amd.home

..and /etc/amd/amd.home looks like:

* type:=nfs;rhost:=server;rfs:=/home/${key}

Were this not a NIS master, I would be perfectly happy with the above 
setup.    $user logs in, /amd/server/home/$user gets mounted and 
appropriate symlink is added in /home.  However, I cannot "mkdir 
/home/$foo" like this, nor can I use the "-m" argument to adduser to create 
home directories.

Can somebody provide me with some examples?

TIA,
Jeff
