automount2amd: converts old Sun automount maps to Amd maps

NAME

automount2amd - converts old Sun automount maps to Amd maps

SYNOPSIS

automount2amd auto.map

DESCRIPTION

automount2amd is used to convert an old Sun automount maps named auto.map to an Amd map.

This perl script will use the following /default entry

    type:=nfs;opts:=rw,grpid,nosuid,utimeout=600

If you wish to override that, define the $DEFAULTS environment variable, or modify the script.

If you wish to generate Amd maps using the hostd (host domain) Amd map syntax, then define the environment variable $DOMAIN or modify the script.

EXAMPLE

Say you have the Sun automount file auto.foo, with these two lines:

  home                  earth:/home
  moon  -ro,intr        server:/proj/images

Running

    automount2amd auto.foo > amd.foo

will produce the Amd map amd.foo with this content:

# generated by automount2amd on Sat Aug 14 17:59:32 US/Eastern 1999

/defaults \
  type:=nfs;opts:=rw,grpid,nosuid,utimeout=600

home   host==earth;type:=link;fs:=/home \
  rhost:=earth;rfs:=/home

moon   -addopts:=ro,intr \
  host==server;type:=link;fs:=/proj/images \
  rhost:=server;rfs:=/proj/images

BUGS

automount2amd does not understand newer Sun Automount map syntax, those used by autofs.
