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.
As noted later in this thread, I stand corrected. What I left out is the fact that only indirect mount maps require kicking the automounter. Direct mount maps aren't affected.
