AUTOFS.CONF(5) BSD File Formats Manual AUTOFS.CONF(5)NAMEautofs.conf — automount(8) and automountd(8) configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The autofs.conf file specifies various configuration options for
automount(8) and automountd(8).
autofs.conf consists of a series of lines, each of which may contain a
line that sets a parameter, a comment, or a blank line.
A line that sets a parameter has the format:
parameter=value
A “#” is the comment character, and all characters from it to the end of
line are ignored.
The parameters that are supported are:
AUTOMOUNT_TIMEOUT
The number of seconds after which an automounted file sys‐
tem will be unmounted if it hasn't been referred to within
that period of time. The default is 10 minutes (600 sec‐
onds). This is equivalent to the -t option in
automount(8).
AUTOMOUNT_VERBOSE
TRUE or FALSE; if TRUE, automount(8) will print more
detailed information about the actions it takes. This is
equivalent to the -v option to automount(8).
AUTOMOUNTD_VERBOSE
TRUE or FALSE; if TRUE, automountd(8) will log to
syslogd(8) more detailed information about the actions it
takes. This is equivalent to the -v option to
automountd(8).
AUTOMOUNTD_NOBROWSE
TRUE or FALSE; if TRUE, automountd(8) will disable browsing
of all maps. This is equivalent to the -n option to
automountd(8).
AUTOMOUNTD_TRACE
The trace level for logging information about requests
received by automountd(8) from autofs, processing done for
those requests, and replies sent to autofs. The default
level of 0 causes no information to be logged; each higher
value causes more information to be logged. This controls
the same trace level that the -T option to automountd(8)
controls. The trace is logged to /var/log/system.log
AUTOMOUNTD_MNTOPTS
A string containing a comma-separated list of mount options
that will be applied, by default, to all mounts done by
automountd(8). The options for a particular mount can
override these options. This controls the same options
that the -o option to automountd(8)
AUTOMOUNTD_NOSUID
TRUE or FALSE; if TRUE, automountd(8) will force all mounts
to have the "nosuid" mount option set.
AUTOMOUNTD_ENV
A string of the form
name=value
that causes the environment variable name to be set to the
value value in automountd(8). Environment variables can be
referred to in map entries; the value of the environment
variable is substituted for the reference to the variable.
This is equivalent to the -D option to automountd(8).
