the following:
chmod +x /etc/auto.curl
3. Edit the /etc/auto.master file to map a base automount mountpoint to the script edited
in step 1. For example, to map the base mountpoint /cluster to a curl script, enter the
following:
/cluster /etc/auto.curl --timeout=60
timeout indicates the number of seconds that a connection remains idle before it is
automatically disconnected. The mountpoint name could be the same as a key name, but this
is not recommended.
4. Copy the edited files to the /etc directory on the clients.
5. On each client, restart autofs and enable it for future use:
/etc/init.d/autofs restart
chkconfig autofs on
6. Confirm that autofs recognizes the primary keys that you entered in auto.master:
/etc/init.d/autofs status
7. Confirm that files are visible at the mountpoint by listing the directory by base mountpoint and
key name. For example, for the key name ifs1_rw:
ls -l /ibrix/ifs1_rw
