My customer noticed a difference in the way automounted directories
look on a Digital UNIX system vs. a Sun system.
From auto.master (same on all systems)
/home /etc/auto.home -nosuid
From /etc/auto.home (same on all systems)
tomf oersted:/export/home/tomf
The user's login dirs in /etc/passwd are the automount 'keys'.
tomf:jhljkjljoE:9750:9220:Tom Friscia:/home/tomf/:/bin/csh
From host 'pongo' (DU V4.0A)
# cd ~tomf
# pwd
/tmp_mnt/home/tomf
# df -k .
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
oersted:/export/home/tomf 246254 132154 89480 60% /tmp_mnt/home/tomf
From host 'maat' (SunOS)
maat# cd ~tomf
maat# pwd
/home/tomf
maat# df -k .
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
oersted:/export/home/tomf 246254 132154 89480 60% /home/tomf
He wants to know why we have to create the link
/home/tomf -> /tmp_mnt/home/tomf. He wants the pwd and mount
information to reflect the "real" home dir /home/<user>, as seen in the
passwd information.
Any input in why we do it this way?
Thanks,

I beleive Solaris is really using "autofs" which is similar but not
the same as automount. Autofs does not create the /tmp_mnt links as
far as I understand.
