nis works well:
#ypcat -k auto.home
user1 server1:/path/&
autofs works well:
#cd /home/user1 (no problem)
compliled with "configure --with-automount":
#smbd -b| grep -i automount
* WITH_AUTOMOUNT
WITH_AUTOMOUNT *
Why doesn't samba read ypcat auto.home?
see below for additional detail,,,,it's a rebus! Let the best man win! :)
maybe there is a bug regarding the use of nis to mount the user's home
directory at the login or my misconfiguration.
After the CentOS 6.4 (64bit) installation I checked for the latest samba
version on the official repository using yum: the latest version (that was
already installed) is samba- 3.6.9-151.el6.>From "man smb.conf" I have seen that "nis homedir" is
not yet deprecated, I
used it a decade ago on samba-2.2.12 with successful.
On CentOS 6.4 I don't use ldap, but only nis and the latter works without
problem, I installed also autofs (auto.home).
autofs+nis are simple and work great, I can 'su' home users on nfs
without
problem.

,,,,,,,,,,,, continues but not important!
As you can see in the smb.conf I bold *'*nis homedir = yes' and
'homedir
map = auto.home'
Samba- 3.6.9-151.el6 is included in CentOS 6.4 so to check if has been
compiled with configure --with-automount I used the command 'smbd -b|grep
-i automount':
[root at dork]#smbd -b| grep -i automount
* WITH_AUTOMOUNT
WITH_AUTOMOUNT *
this is a piece of my /etc/auto.home:
pippo server1:/dati3/export/home/&
pluto server2:/iscsi/home/&
#paperino server1:/dati2/export/home/&
mickeymouse server2:/iscsi/home/&
spiderman server1:/dati2/export/home/&
,,,,,,,,,,, continues but not important!
Now after samba configuration I'm able to join the 'DORK' domain
from win7
and at login the latter mounts all resources declared through logon.bat
without problem except the user's home directory because 'nis
homedir'
fails.
I think, M: is not mounted on win7 because the variable %N is black
(strange!), I can say that because I also added %N to the file log name
'log file = /var/log/samba/test/%N_%p.log (but even %p is blank!), from man
smb.conf The NIS auto.map entry is split up as %N:%p*, *and if
--with-automount is not added during the compile %N become %L.....but in my
case %N is black not %L...
*
*
*
logon drive = M:
logon home = \\%N\%U
*
After, I did other tests: I started winbind services but I think nis no
needs it
You can see the log regarding the connection between the samba server and a
win7 pc named 'ORDONA', login username 'guest', all on
http://www.wepaste.com/vincenzo/
Where 'nis homedir' fails? Or is there a known bug?
