NFS automount options

Hi All,

I am trying to automount all of my remote file servers using tcp instead of
the default udp. I am universally using 4.0g (mainly Alpha 1200's)

I have tried adding "tcp" to the mount options(within auto.master)

/dirname /etc/auto.mapfile -rw,tcp,soft (it was originally just
-rw,soft)
and i tried
/dirname /etc/auto.mapfile -o rw,tcp,soft
and i also tried adding it to the end of the command in rc.config . . . . .
!

daemon.log reports an error - basically it says "ignoring that option"

The mount man page suggests, for NFS;
-o tcp
and that seems to work fine from the command line; i think i did a

mount -o tcp machinename:/test:u01 /test/u01

and my NFS mount came up as tcp instead of udp - so i know that my servers
are supporting tcp.

But automount i cannot do - any help would be appreciated
Regards

paul johnston
