I don't think that first entry is a glob. I believe that * just
means
any. & is shorthand for the matching key so
* -fstype=nfs4,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp
fileserver.chem.byu.edu:/export/home/students/&
Just substitutes whatever the matching key (*) to &.
I assume this is in some auto.home-like map.
I don't claim to know a lot about autofs but you might try creating an
auto.home-a, auto.home-b, etc.
auto.master contains:
/export/home/students/a auto.home-a
/export/home/students/b auto.home-b
This of course assumes that the homedir in the user entry is
/export/home/students/<letter>/<login>
I also have no idea if that will work, but running "automount -vvvf" in
a terminal very likely produces enough traces to see how the map is
handled. I think that could help investigating what might work.
