OS X needs to have an "automountMapName=auto_master" and "automountMapName=auto_home" located in "cn=automountMap,dc=subnet,dc=example,dc=com" Linux needs to have an "automountMapName=auto.master" and "automountMapName=auto.home" located wherever I want in "dc=subnet,dc=example,dc=com" The entries contained in "automountMapName=auto_home" and "automountMapName=auto.home" will be exactly the same ones; SO what is the best way to implement it without duplicate them ? Using aliases or rwm+relay ? **** *I don’t believe that the Linux map names are hardcoded.

Using aliases > or rwm+relay ? As long as the autofs schema required by OS X and Linux is the same you should be able to point to the auto.home for both auto.master and auto_master. The auto.master may not be so easy to unify, as in my own experience different platforms look for specific entries to begin their automount look ups. -- Khosrow
