Well, the automounter on our RS/6000 appears to be staying up now. Apparently
our map for user home directories was too large for it (~920 entries). Since
the machine is restricted access w/ approx 5 valid users, feeding automount
a map with just those users appears to have cleared up the problem.
Previously, it would choke and crash with a Segmentation Violation after a
couple of mounts and unmounts. Whether this problem would occur with a
YP map is unknown. Our YP map has a mount option that the AIX mounter
doesn't like and we aren't ready to remove.
Provided I have not been real lucky, and the automounter can stay up for a
few more days, I'm going to have this reported as a "defect" in the
automounter. If we had one of these machines for general use, this would
be a big headache for us.
Doug.
