This section tells you how to perform these tasks, by editing files and
issuing HP-UX commands. However, Hewlett-Packard recommends that
you use SAM to configure and administer the automounter. SAM
(System Administration Manager) is Hewlett-Packard’s windows-based
user interface for performing system administration tasks. To run SAM,
type sam at the HP-UX prompt. SAM has an extensive online help
facility.
NOTE SAM does not support specifying maps or directories on the automount
command line. SAM finds automounter maps only if they are listed in
the master map. SAM recognizes automounted directories only if they
are listed in an automounter map.

to add the following line to the automounter master map file (usually
called /etc/auto_master):
/net -hosts -nosuid
