Browsability for Indirect Maps
Enhanced AutoFS allows a user to view the potential mount points for
indirect maps, without having to actually mount each file system.
By default, browsing is enabled for all indirect AutoFS maps. To disable
browsing, you can specify the -nobrowse option for each indirect map
that you do not want to be browseable. The automountd command with
-n option is used to disable browsing for all indirect maps without having
to specify the -nobrowse option for each indirect map.
Consider the following example:
# /etc/auto_master file
# local mount point map name mount options
/nfs/desktop /etc/auto_indirect

NFS client "sage"
