Hi,
In our environment we have DU 4.0b workstations, various Sun Sparcs runing
Solaris 2.5.1 and SunOS 4.1.4. We also make good use of the automounter on
all systems.
NIS is being served out by SunOS 4.1.4. In the auto.master the auto.home is
/project.
All this works fine except for one thing, on DU and SunOS, when a user
issues a pwd, the return string is:
/tmp_mnt/project/first_user_to_mount/user_name.
If your lucky enough to be the first user to mount the return string is:
/tmp_mnt/project/your_username
You can cd to /project/user_name and this works fine but the return from pwd
is inconsistent.
Under Sun Solaris 2.5.1, the return from pwd is /project/user_name, as you
would expect.
This causes problems with some the development tools that we use, such as
adamulti which builds make files based on the return of the current directory
information. Often when a user starts a new login, the info has to be
changed in the makefile because the return from pwd is different.
The question is, is there a way to set up DU 4.0b automounter to allways
return the string:
/project/user_name
the same as the Sun Solaris automounter.
I hope I have been clear!
Thank in advance,
Mike Allen
