Have an AIX 5.2 box. I had automounter already setup to control /home using /etc/auto_home as an indirect automount map.
Then we added NIS. We have it working, but for some reason, the NIS table auto.home seems to override /etc/auto_home entries. Of course, there are some duplicates (usernames that appear in NIS and /etc/passwd, with different home directories and UIDs, etc.). I want /etc/auto_home to override NIS. I need to synch up UIDs, home directories (in most cases, but there are some exceptions), etc. but I was hoping to be able to add some select users from NIS while I go about the long process of syching up users and UIDs.
I'm used to Solaris where I have an /etc/nsswitch.conf file and I can specify the order to search. Is there anything I can do to configure the order that the automounter will use (i.e. so I can say "use /etc/auto_home before you go to NIS", etc.)?
