The Substitution String for an Indirect Map
The following entry reduces the auto_home file to a single line. The use of substitution characters specifies that for every login ID, the client remotely mounts the /export/home/loginID directory from the NFS server serverl onto the local mount point /home/loginID.
server1:/export/home/&
This entry uses the wildcard character (*) to match any key; the substitution character (&) at the end of the location specification is replaced with the matched key field. This works only when all home directories are on a single server (in this example, serverl).
