LCFG autofs object
------------------

This LCFG object is compatible with the EDG distribution of LCFG
as of May 1st, 2002. It is loosely based on the examples
provided by the Edinburgh DICE project. 

This object is for use with the Linux versions of autofs (certainly
with version 3.1.4 but probably with all versions) and attempts
to be compatible with SunOS 5.6+ style automounting.


Configuration of the autofs object
----------------------------------

To use the autofs object, add the following lines to the relevant
node profile (or an include file) withou the preceeding spaces:

    
    EXTRA(profile.components)      autofs
    profile.reconfig_autofs        start
    
    autofs.maps                    user hosts

    autofs.path_user               /user
    autofs.map_user                davidg templon willem
    autofs.options_user            -rw,intr,noquota,nosuid
    autofs.path_user_davidg        booder:/home/davidg
    autofs.path_user_templon       booder:/home/templon
    autofs.path_user_willem        booder:/home/willem
    autofs.options_user_willem     -actimeo=0
    
    autofs.path_hosts              /net
    autofs.map_hosts               -hosts
    autofs.options_hosts           -nosuid

The example above references the SunOS "special" map "-hosts".
This is not supported by Linux autofs. The autofs component will 
not complain, but the underlying OS will just ignore it. 

Installing the autofs object
----------------------------
This object needs to be installed on the LCFG clients. On the
server side you will need the obj-autofs-server definition.
