This is kind of a pain and I am not sure of the workaround if I want to
keep using NIS with auto_home maps. I'll be talking to my Apple
engineer about why this is and if it can be fixed. Supposedly Solaris
can be setup to be a client to a OS X server and use LDAP maps from the
OS X machine to define mount points and such. I am working on that too,
but now I am wondering how home areas from the Mac will be mounted if
you can't mount subdirectories. Ugh! This was supposed to be easier...
