How to Disable Autofs Browsability on a Selected File System

In this example, browsability of the /net directory is disabled. You can use the same procedure for /home or any other autofs mount points.

Verify the search order for the automount naming services.
The config/automount property in the name-service/switch service shows the search order for the automount information.
```
# svcprop -p config svc:/system/name-service/switch
config/value_authorization astring solaris.smf.value.name-service.switch
config/printer astring user\ files
config/default astring files\ nis
config/automount astring files\ nis
```
The last entry shows that local automount files are searched first and then the NIS service is checked. The config/default entry specifies the search order for all naming information not specifically listed. If you are using the LDAP naming service, the config/automount property in the name-service/switch service shows ldap in the search order for the automount information.
```
# svcprop -p config svc:/system/name-service/switch
config/value_authorization astring solaris.smf.value.name-service.switch
config/printer astring user\ files\ ldap
config/default astring files\ ldap
config/automount astring files\ ldap
```
Check the position of the +auto_master entry in /etc/auto_master.
For additions to the local files to have precedence over the entries in the name space, the +auto_master entry must be moved to follow /net.
```
# Master map for automounter
#
/net    -hosts     -nosuid
/home   auto_home  +auto_master
```
A standard configuration places the +auto_master entry at the top of the file, which prevents any local changes from being used.
Add the nobrowse option to the /net entry in the /etc/auto_master file.
```
/net     -hosts     -nosuid,nobrowse
```
On all clients, run the automount command.
The new behavior becomes effective after running the automount command on the client systems or after a reboot.
```
# /usr/sbin/automount
```
