automount on debian help

[Michael ODonnell]

To find out what's installed on a Debian
box, I often define this function:

   function dlgrep()  {
       # dpkg list grep
       COLUMNS=300 dpkg -l | tr -s '[:blank:]' ' ' | grep $*
   }

...which you could use thus:

   dlgrep -i autofs
   dlgrep -i amd


If you have NIS installed you should (by convention) be
able to say:

   ypcat auto.master

...to see which maps are available for your use.
