Wildcard Rule

When supplied in the key field, the asterisk (*) is recognized as the "catch-all" entry. This type of entry matches any key not previously matched.

For example, the following entry would map any user to a home directory in /home in which the home directory name was the same as the user name:

*    /home/&

Note:

The wildcard rule is applied only if an appropriate rule is not matched by another map entry.
