Example Playbook

    - hosts: servers
      vars:
        aspects_autofs_mounts:
            userhome:
                masterline: "/home /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60"
                miscline: "user -hard,intr,tcp,actimeo=3 nfsserver:/homedata/user"
      roles:
         - { role: aspects_autofs }

Notes

On CentOS 7, if you are using NFS home mounts, you may need to modify SELinux settings. Specificially, run:

setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1

I discovered this when ssh was returning a public key error when I tried to ssh in using ssh keys.
