 |
|
Hello all,
I have a small network of coomputers at home, and I have one of the that acts as a NIS server and the other two clients. I try to use autofs to mount /home/(user) on login, but for some reason this is not working. I have tried to look for instructions, but sadly the wiki died and the instructions are gone. To try and keep things simple, my nsswitch is set so that
| Code: |
passwd: compat nis
shadow: compat nis
group: compat nis
automount files
|
so the autofs program should look in /etc/autofs/ for auto.master and auto.home
auto.master is simply:
| Code: |
/home /etc/autofs/auto.home
|
and auto.home is
| Code: |
* -fstype=nfs,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid Krypton:/home/&
|
When I manually mount Krypton:/home to /home on client machine, I can then log into client from krypton without problems. If I use autofs, it does not work.
Can anyone help me figure out what I am missing?
Thanks! |

Increase the log level (max is debug IIRC) for the automounter in /etc/conf.d/autofs, restart autofs and post the output which appears in /var/log/messages when trying to automount your home directory.

I don't think the use of the wildcard * is a very good idea. maybe you should name the share something else...anything else..like krypton_share, or some such.
For instance, these are my autofs shares: | Code: | distfiles -fstype=nfs,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,timeo=30,rw 192.168.0.130:/usr/portage/distfiles
seed-src -fstype=nfs,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,timeo=30,rw 192.168.0.130:/mass_storage/01-kernel_seed_work_area
gen-root -fstype=nfs,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,timeo=30,rw 192.168.0.115:/ |
Of course, they all correspond to properly shared files from NFS running on the systems in question. I'd check into that if I were you.
Blessed be!
Pappy
