You are extending the NIS support in your network to include a new NIS map to support automount direct maps. As part of this process, you modify the NIS Makefile to include the following line:
auto.direct: auto.direct.time
What does this line signify?

A.
The auto.direct NIS map is indexed using the time at which resources are mounted by a client.

B.
If the auto.direct file does NOT exist, it should be created using the auto.direct.time file as a template.

C.
Client use of the auto.direct NIS map is recorded in the /var/yp/auto.direct.time log file.

D.
The auto.direct dependency is satisfied when the auto.direct.time dependency is satisfied.
