To do?
The /tmp filesystem should be cleaned on a daily basis, use

crontab -e                     # or: vi /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root
0 3 * * * /opt/sfw/bin/scavenger -t+1 /tmp/ >/dev/null

to specify cleanup at 3 AM by some scavenger local admin shell script.

/etc/init.d/autofs /etc/auto_master are defined to share user, data and scratch files as well as applications. They are mounted via the automountd daemon which is automatically invoked in Solaris 10.
Configuration files are:

/etc/default/autofs (Solaris 10) holding automountd parameters,
/etc/init.d/autofs (Solaris 9) startup script,

/etc/auto.u, for example:

/u    -rw,vers=3 rs6kf:/userfs/SOLARIS/SPARC # for SPARCs
/u    -rw,vers=3 rs6kf:/userfs/SOLARIS/X86   # for x86s

/etc/auto.d, for example:

bio     -rw,vers=3 rs6kf:/datafs/bio
depot   -rw,vers=3 rs6kf:/depotfs/
swdepot -rw,vers=3 rs6kf:/swdepotfs/
img     -rw,vers=3 rs6kf:/imgfs/

/etc/auto.s:
```
bio   -rw,vers=3 rs6kf:/scratch/bio
```

/etc/auto.nfs, for example:

texlive -ro        rs6kf:/applfs/applb01/texlive
local   -ro        rs6kf:/applfs/applb01/SOLARIS/SPARC
install -rw,vers=3 rs6kf:/applfs/applb01/SOLARIS/SPARC # write access to allow installation

/etc/auto_master (Solaris 10):

/-   /etc/auto.u          # direct map to allow new users in /u
/s   /etc/auto.s
/d   /etc/auto.d
/nfs /etc/auto.nfs

Note that the various mount points are created automatically.

tell it the automounter (Solaris 10):

svcadm refresh svc:/system/filesystem/autofs
# or:
svcadm restart svc:/system/filesystem/autofs

necessary links:
```
ln -s /u /users
```
