|'''[[/etc/autofs/]]'''||The [https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=auto_master&sektion=5 automounter] configuration consists of the auto_master configuration file, which assigns filesystem paths to map names, and maps, which contain actual mount information.  The auto_master configuration file is      used by the [https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=automount&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+12.1-RELEASE+and+Ports automount(8)] command. Map files are read by the [https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=automountd&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+12.1-RELEASE+and+Ports automountd(8)] daemon. It is possible to add custom special maps by adding them, as executable  maps named special_foo, to the ''/etc/autofs/'' directory.

A login class (an optional annotation against each record in the user account database, /etc/master.passwd) determines session accounting, re  source limits and user environment settings.  It is used by various programs in the system to set up a user's login environment and to enforce policy, accounting and administrative restrictions.  It also provides the means by which users are able to be authenticated to the system and the types of authentication available. Attributes in addition to the ones described here are available with third-party packages.
