.Os Darwin
.Sh NAME
.Nm autofs.conf
.Nd
.Xr automount 8
and
.Xr automountd 8
configuration file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
file specifies various configuration options for
.Xr automount 8
and
.Xr automountd 8 .
.Pp
.Nm
consists of a series of lines, each of which may contain a
line that sets a parameter, a comment, or a blank line.
.Pp
A line that sets a parameter has the format:
.D1 Va parameter Ns = Ns Va value
A
.Dq #
is the comment character, and all characters from it to the end of
line are ignored.
.Pp
The parameters that are supported are:
.Bl -tag
.It Dv AUTOMOUNT_TIMEOUT
The number of seconds after which an automounted file system will be
unmounted if it hasn't been referred to within that period of time.  The
default is 1 hour (3600 seconds).
This is equivalent to the
.Fl t
option in
.Xr automount 8 .
.It Dv AUTOMOUNT_VERBOSE
.Li TRUE
or
.Li FALSE ;
if
.Li TRUE ,
.Xr automount 8
will print more detailed information about the actions it takes.
This is equivalent to the
.Fl v
option to
.Xr automount 8 .
.It Dv AUTOMOUNTD_VERBOSE
.Li TRUE
or
.Li FALSE ;
if
.Li TRUE ,
.Xr automountd 8
will log to
.Xr syslogd 8
more detailed information about the actions it takes.
This is equivalent to the
.Fl v
option to
.Xr automountd 8 .
.It Dv AUTOMOUNTD_NOBROWSE
.Li TRUE
or
.Li FALSE ;
if
.Li TRUE ,
.Xr automountd 8
will disable browsing of all maps.
This is equivalent to the
.Fl n
option to
.Xr automountd 8 .
.It Dv AUTOMOUNTD_TRACE
The trace level for logging information about requests received by
.Xr automountd 8
from autofs, processing done for those requests, and replies sent to
autofs.
The default level of
.Li 0
causes no information to be logged; each higher value causes more
information to be logged.
This controls the same trace level that the
.Fl T
option to
.Xr automountd 8
controls.
The trace is logged to /var/log/system.log
.It Dv AUTOMOUNTD_MNTOPTS
A string containing a comma-separated list of mount options
that will be applied, by default, to all mounts done by
.Xr automountd 8 .
The options for a particular mount can override these options.
This controls the same options that the
.Fl o
option to
.Xr automountd 8
.It Dv AUTOMOUNTD_NOSUID
.Li TRUE
or
.Li FALSE ;
if
.Li TRUE ,
.Xr automountd 8
will force all mounts to have the "nosuid" mount option set.
.It Dv AUTOMOUNTD_ENV
A string of the form
.D1 Va name Ns = Ns Va value
that causes the environment variable
.Va name
to be set to the value
.Va value
in
.Xr automountd 8 .
Environment variables can be referred to in map entries; the value of
the environment variable is substituted for the reference to the
variable.
This is equivalent to the
.Fl D
option to
.Xr automountd 8 .
