NAME
autofs - file containing parameter values for
automountd daemon and automount command
SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/autofs
DESCRIPTION
The autofs file resides in directory
/etc/default and supplies default parameters for the auto-
mountd daemon and the automount command.
The
autofs file format is ASCII; comment lines begin with the crosshatch (
#) character. Parameters
consist of a keyword followed by an equal sign followed by the parameter value. This is the form of
parameters in the file:
keyword=value
Initially the parameters in the autofs file are commented out with the
# character.
Administrators can make changes to the startup parameters for
automountd by logging in as root and
editing the
autofs file. They would uncomment out a keyword-value line to make the value for that
parameter take effect. Changes made to
autofs values on an automount or automountd command
line override values in
/etc/default/autofs
.
The following parameters are currently supported in the
autofs file:
AUTOMOUNT_TIMEOUT=
num
Specifies a duration, in seconds, that a file system is to remain mounted when
not in use. The default value is 600 (10 minutes). Equivalent to the
-t option
in automount.
AUTOMOUNT_VERBOSE=TRUE
| FALSE
Verbose mode for automount. Causes you to be notified of non-critical
events, such as autofs mounts and unmounts. The default value is FALSE.
Equivalent to the -v option in automount.
AUTOMOUNTD_VERBOSE=TRUE
| FALSE
Verbose mode for automountd. Causes status messages to be logged to the
console. The default value is FALSE. Equivalent to the -v option in auto-
mountd.
AUTOMOUNTD_NOBROWSE=
num
Turn on or off browsing for all
autofs mount points. The default value is
FALSE. Equivalent to the -n option in automountd.
AUTOMOUNTD_TRACE=
num
Expands each RPC call and displays it on standard output. The default value,
0, turns off such tracing. Starting with value 1, and with each higher value,
the verbosity of the trace output increases.
AUTOMOUNTD_ENV=name =value
Environment variables. Each environment variable-value pairing must be on
its own line. You can specify multiple such pairings. There are no environ-
ment variable settings supplied. For example:
AUTOMOUNTD_ENV=DAY=TUES
