hello debian-users,

I configured autofs for /home:

* -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,bg,intr SERVER:/share/&

But now the login as "admin" does not work any more, since
it tries to mount SERVER:/share/admin -> Is it possible to exclude
a user from automounting? 

The workaround [1] I use is this:

admin -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,bg,intr localhost:/export/admin_homes/&
* -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,bg,intr SERVER:/share/&

where /export/admin_homes/admin is just a normal directory.

Is this a valid solution? Will it work on Debian/Ubuntu/... also in the
future?

Many Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix
