Example of auto.master /- auto_direct -rw,intr /net -hosts -nosuid /home auto_home /tech auto_tech In this example first 3 lines are default. Example of auto_home * ServerX:/export/data/home/& For this all home directories of users are physically reside in Serverx & you have to share same stuff to all m/cs by editing /etc/exports at ServerX. Here auto_home is indirect map & auto_tech is direct map. I hope it will solve your problem..
