Question on NIS maps. Exclude a system?

We use nis here at our company and we have a direct mount for the /tftpboot filesystem in our auto_direct map.We have a couple of systems that we would like to have ignore this automount point and have them use thier own.

Is there a way to put a list of excluded systems on an entry in the auto_direct file?

I don't want to have to use the -rw as we have two many systems here that use this automount.I just want to exclude a couple of systems from seeing this.

Thanks

Not in the map itself (that I'm aware of).

You could override the map on the system itself (if you trust the system, which you must because changing the map doesn't give any security).

See the automount man page. You can map the /tftpboot directory to -null in the local auto_master and it should override the auto_direct entry.
