How to Use a Public File Handle With Autofs

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

    For information about roles, see “Using Privileged Applications” in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

  2. Create an entry in the autofs map such as the following:


    /usr/local     -ro,public    bee:/export/share/local

    The public option forces the public handle to be used. If the NFS server does not support a public file handle, the mount fails.
