SUMMARY: NFS automount on Aix 4.3.3

	Hi Gurus,


	Very few answer to this !

	The original subject was :

> 	I have some difficulties to find the best way to configure an AIX box
> to automount Solaris NFS filesystems.
> 	Does anyone know some URL (or any other list) which may summarises
> all things to do and check ?
>

	Only two emails.  Thanks to Yves Dorfsman (http://www.sollers.ca) and
Atul Gore.


	Atul suggests to use smitty. I tried, for the fun...I've found some
menus, particularly the "autofs" file system type in "Mount FS".   If
you read this and want to use autofs on Aix 4.3.3 , forget about smit !


	Yves began by frightening me; he explained me that I absolutely need
to apply the last set of patchs because Aix 4.3 and automount were not
known as best friends.  (to check installed patchs : instfix -i |grep
ML)
	Fortunately, patch levels installed on my customers boxes seems
correct (4330-09_AIX_ML, not too old).

	Ok.

	Now how to.

	1) Forget the fact you are on a Aix...think as if you are on Solaris

	2) Create /etc/auto_master file ans subsequent maps

	3) Come back on Aix   ;-)

	4) Check /etc/rc.nfs and locate something like :
## Begin AutoFS startup   ## Do NOT remove
##
if [ -s /etc/auto_master ]; then
         /usr/sbin/automount
fi
##
## End AutoFS startup   ## Do NOT remove

	If you find something different, change to have these lines (or add
them).

	5) Execute   /etc/rc.nfs

	That's all folks.



	Nicolas
