Information
The automount daemon is normally used to automatically mount NFS file systems from
remote file servers when needed. However, the automount daemon can also be configured
to mount local (loopback) file systems as well, which may include local user home
directories, depending on the system configuration.
Rationale:
This service should be disabled if it is not required.
Solution
To disable this service, run the following command:
# svcadm disable svc:/system/filesystem/autofs
Notes:
By default, the Solaris 11 OS uses the automount service for local user home directories, so
it should not be disabled without adjusting the home directory setting of each local user.
