Indirect automounter maps

If you use an indirect automounter map, you might have to set the environment variable AUTOMOUNT_FIX in the environments of all users. You can use the AUTOMOUNT_FIX environment variable to resolve any potential automounter-related problems. If AUTOMOUNT_FIX is set to a string, Rational® Synergy strips that string from the beginning of any path. For example, if AUTOMOUNT_FIX is not set, the default is to strip /tmp_mnt.

Setting AUTOMOUNT_FIX is appropriate only if both of the following are true:

You might need to create symbolic links on some machines to ensure that files on the automounted file system are accessible on all machines by the same path. If you do not know how to create symbolic links, see your automounter documentation.
