195 | <para>The installation process creates <filename>auto.master</filename>,

---|
197 | <filename>auto.net</filename>. Replace the
|

|
---|
199 | as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>
|

|

210 |
|
---|
211 | <para>This file creates a new media directory, <filename>/media/auto</filename>
|
---|
212 | that will overlay any existing directory of the same name. In this example,
|
---|
213 | the file, <filename>/etc/auto.misc</filename>, has a line:</para>
|
---|
214 |
|
---|
215 | <screen>cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom</screen>
|
---|
216 |
|
---|
217 | <para>that will mount a cdrom as <filename>/media/auto/cd</filename> if
|
---|
218 | that directory is accessed. The <option>--ghost</option> option tells
|
---|
219 | the automounter to create <quote>ghost</quote> versions (i.e. empty
|
---|
220 | directories) of all the mount points listed in the configuration file
|
---|
221 | regardless whether any of the file systems are actually mounted or not.
|
---|
222 | This is very convenient and highly recommended, because it will show you
|
---|
223 | the available auto-mountable file systems as existing directories, even
|
---|
224 | when their file systems aren't currently mounted. Without the
|
---|
225 | <option>--ghost</option> option, you'll have to remember the names of the
|
---|
226 | directories. As soon as you try to access one of them, the directory will
|
---|
227 | be created and the file system will be mounted. When the file system gets
|
---|
228 | unmounted again, the directory is destroyed too, unless the
|
---|
229 | <option>--ghost</option> option was given.</para>
|
---|
230 |
|
---|
231 | <note>
|
---|
232 | <para>An alternative method would be to specify another automount
|
---|
233 | location such as <filename
|
---|
234 | class='directory'>/var/lib/auto/cdrom</filename> and create a
|
---|
235 | symbolic link from <filename class='directory'>/media/cdrom</filename>
|
---|
236 | to the automount location.</para>
|
---|
237 | </note>
|
---|
238 |
|
---|
239 | <para>The <filename>auto.misc</filename> file must be configured to your
|
---|
240 | working hardware. The loaded configuration file should load your cdrom
|
---|
241 | if <filename>/dev/cdrom</filename> is active or it can be edited to
|
---|
242 | match your device setup. Examples for floppies are available in the file
|
---|
243 | and easily activated. Documentation for this file is available using the
|
---|
244 | <command>man 5 autofs</command> command.</para>
|
---|
245 |
|
---|
246 | <para>In the second line, if enabled, a user's home directory would be
|
---|
247 | mounted via NFS upon login. The <filename>/etc/home.auto</filename>
|
---|
248 | would need to exist and have an entry similar to:</para>
|

249 |
|
---|
250 | <screen>joe example.org:/export/home/joe</screen>
|
---|
251 |
