Thanks for all the responses! It would take too long to reply to everyone
that replied to me, so I'll just post the summary here. My overall
question was basically that I wanted to get all the users that were not being
automounted on a particular host, but there were other questions too:
How can you tell if the automounter is running?
The best answer I got to was to look in /etc/mtab for clues. A typical
automounter line looks something like:
foo:(pid124) /home ignore ro,intr,port=722,map=autouser,indirect,dev=8206 0 0
How can I tell if automounter uses a text file or NIS for maps? Any
format differences?
You can usually tell if automounter uses a text file or NIS for maps by
looking at the startup args. The map formats (NIS and text file) are indeed
the same, no suprise there. Fortunately, I'm ignoring all that stuff in my
final solution, so no problem for me anyway :-)
Here's some simple/crude code that tries to extract any non-automounting
users from a system. I'm just looking at all the 2nd fields in /etc/mtab to
get the directories that are potential automounted home dirs, and then using
using that as a awk input to suck out all the pertainent guts of the output of:
(cat /etc/passwd; ypcat passwd)
(or whatever you want to stick there instead.) I'm not sure whether or
not I really want to just look for any automounted home dirs, or any
NFS dirs, or what. This will all get tossed into COPS as an option
somewhere, if anyone cares.
See comments and code for more info; and thanks again --
