This meeting is at our regular time and place. Everybody is welcome.
What: NBLUG General Meeting
Topic: Configuring Autofs
Who: Kyle Rankin
When: April 13, 2004 @ 7:30PM
Where: O'Reilly and Associates, Sebastopol, CA.
Details:
Autofs is a kernel option that lets you automatically mount filesystems
on your computer when you access them, and then automatically umount
them when they are no longer used.
When I was trying to figure out the best way to set up my removable usb
drive, I ended up stumbling upon autofs as an excellent solution. After
realizing the potential of it, and how configurable it is, I started
setting it up to manage other mountpoints on my system. In this talk, I
will discuss everything I set up, and how, including dynamically mounted
cdroms, usb drives (including cameras), smb, ftp, and ssh mountpoints.
If you (or somebody you know) might be interested in speaking to a friendly
group of 25-45 people about something related to Linux or Open Source,
please contact speakers(a)nblug.org.
