Creating local automount maps

Creating local automount maps allows users to vary their automounting privileges according to specialized needs. To create local automount maps:

1. Edit the /etc/auto.master file to contain entries like:

      +/local_map_name
   

   For example:

      +/etc/auto.mystuff              # local map
   

   The / entry indicates to automount that it is to read a local map instead of an NIS map.

2. Edit the /etc/nfs file to remove the -m option

3. Reboot to restart automount
