... or alternatively if I *only* want the home directories to be
automounted what do I need to change in /etc/auto.master?

The last line (which invokes the above from yp) is:-

    +auto.master

So if I remove the +auto.master line what can I put instead to do the
same as "auto.home       -rw,hard,intr,rsize=1024,wsize=1024", it
doesn't seem as if I can put just that in the /etc/auto.master file.

Any suggestions?
