Question: 

How to create NIS map automount entries through adedit and specify its options? 


Answer: 

The basic flow of creating NIS maps and their entries as follows: 

1. Bind to a DC.
2. Select a zone.
3. Create a new NIS map, if necessary. 
4. Create map entries. 

For example, the following commands will create an automount NIS map with rw option. 
 

#adedit
>bind dc01@always.sunny freynolds
freynolds@dc01@ALWAYS.SUNNY's password: 
>select_zone "CN=Paddy,CN=Zones,OU=Centrify,DC=always,DC=sunny"
>new_nis_map -automount auto.home
>save_nis_map
>add_map_entry_with_comment Charlie "-rw    iasip:/home/ckelly" "For Charlie"
>get_nis_map_with_comment 
{Charlie:1{-rw    iasip:/home/ckelly} {For Charlie}}
