A couple colleagues of mine were trying to execute a program on the server that required a special initialization environment, which was called from the /home/loginuser path. The login, loginuser, was not part of the server’s name service domain. It was a local account on a remote workstation. After a little discussion, they added this syntax to the /etc/auto_home file. Here is a run to illustrate the aforementioned.
# vi /etc/auto_home # Home directory map for automounter # loginuser esoft:/export/home/USERS/& # * server:/export/home/USERS/& # +auto_home :wq!
