design. We have a lot of development servers. So any time you add/delete/modify a single user you should go trough _all_ the NIS/automount clients and run "automount" to let automountd know that passwd map has been just updated. Am I wrong again?
This is correct, but I simple cron job which runs periodically on all NIS clients should make short work of this task. =)
Er? Solaris? That's one of the (few) beauties of NIS -- you don't have to go around telling everything that a map has changed.
I've never gone machine-to-machine running automount(1) to kick it in the pants just because we changed the password or auto_home map. The _worst_ is that ncsd caches something and we need to kill and restart it.
