You need to use a slightly different syntax to populate an automount
map. It's in TFM, but not very clearly.
Use this:
nisaddent -t auto_home.org_dir key-value
I usually use:
echo "$entry" | /usr/lib/nis/nisaddent -t auto_home.org_dir key-value
or
cat auto_home_file | /usr/lib/nis/nisaddent -t auto_home.org_dir key-value

I sued awk with nistbladm and Answerbook!! ;-)
nisaddent is just a hacky way of using nistbladm anyway! You CAN add mount
options for auto_home and auto_master NIS+ maps. You just add them to the
"value" field. There is no "generic" support for automount maps via the
nisaddent command, I don't know why! It's just the old key/value pair known
and loved by NISers all over the globe.
