Hello Sun admins,
I want to know what folks are doing to manage their multiple
site NIS/Automount maps & environments. Are there general
best practices? If so, neither the Sun Summaries archives nor
googling have offered a solution, or even a discussion.
Our situation is simple: 1 main site with 2 smaller, distant
development sites. NIS only, no NIS+. NIS servers on Solaris 9.
The passwd, shadow & group maps are universal and could be
pushed by the NIS master or pulled by secondaries.
The home directory map (auto_home) must be unique per site
(no NFS over wan, even with tcp). A growing number of users
have homes at more than 1 site, so it would be cool to have a
central, parsable master file containing all home paths, with
site specific maps generated from it via a script executed
by the /var/yp/Makefile.
Other maps such as /shared (OS/release specific bin/lib/src/etc)
and /clearcase are unique per site but are essentially static
and can be manually updated on the rare occasion.
So our needs primarily revolve around home directories. But
hopefully a solution would be adaptable to other map needs.
Will summarize replies with details, as I bet there are a number
of different solutions.
Regards,
- michael
