How to Modify the Master Map

  1. Using the nistbladm command, make the changes you want to the master map.

    See the Solaris Naming Administration Guide.

  2. For each client, become superuser.

  3. For each client, run the automount command to ensure the changes you made take effect.

  4. Notify your users of the changes.

    Notification is required so that the users can also run the automount command as superuser on their own computers.

The automount command gathers information from the master map whenever it is run.
