Hi, I am still trying to figure out the best settings for Samba and Kerberos with autofs. My setup so far works good, users can log in on their computers using AD credentials, and they can access network shares with AD credentials as well. This works perfect. Also I notice that some Kerberos ticket is created upon user login, which allows the users to access a Samba share without enter...

Was trying to use autofs on ubuntu and mounting a samba shared failed. Then, i came across a note that 'unless you need to authenticate to cifs' -- wish I could find the exact quote now. The point is autofs fails to mount a windows server share. I can mount the share using mount.cifs but it fails with autofs. So I...

I'm looking into 'porting' some custom init.d scripts that are in use on CentOS 6 boxes for use on CentOS 7 using systemd One particular init.d script needs to run after autofs has been started, but before X11 is started I'm guessing I could use something like: After=autofs.service Before=graphical.target Is this correct? However, I would like to use the same systemd unit file on servers that won't run X - will the above work? Or is there a better/anothe...

Hi, I'm using Autofs and LDAP for mounting my home directories via nfs. In general, everything seems to work fine. However, I have one small problem. If I reboot my server using autofs while my LDAP server is down, I get the following error message in my logs: automount[3358]: bind_ldap_anonymous: lookup(ldap):...

We have about 800 CentOS 5.2 servers and our university. We use NFS being served from over 10 NetApp frames. We use autofs for to mount up our partitions. There have been times where we can't cd into the directory. It says the directory does not exist. On some servers it works but on others it does not. Typically we restart amd and autofs to resolve this issue. But sometimes it does not even work. A reboot fixes th...

Is there a way to make samba automatically mount a home directory? That is, a user logging in (from Linux), enters its username and password(Samba), and the system automatically mounts the user's home directory from the samba server(without asking the password again). Has anyone ever tried to do this? And succedeed :-) ? -- nneves@di.fc.ul.pt Dept. Informatica, Fac.

Hi, the last released autofs update for Centos 5 is version autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.1. On 2007-12-20 upstream released version autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.2. As several other updates were released in the meantime maybe the autofs update has been overlooked? Best regards, Bernd.

Hi, Does setting the autofs timeout=0 create a permanent mount? What I'm trying to do is get the best of both world; 1) Have a persistent mount so that users can use autocompletion. 2) utilize the benefits of autofs so that when an NFS resource becomes unavailable, the system doesn't hang. I've tried a timeou...

I have an issue with CentOS 6.2's autofs/automount. When I issue "service autofs start (or restart)" the automount daemon starts as expected, however, I am not able to access any of the exports nfs directories; but if I shutdown the automount daemon and start it by just issuing "/usr/sbin/automount", I am able to acc...

See Red Hat Bugzilla bug #846852 for details. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846852 FYI: We discovered that after updating to EL 6.3 on our x86_64 server, autofs 5.0.5-54 broke our nightly backups that rely on automounting an NFS share hosted on another EL 6 machine on our local network. The machine hosting NFS server was configured to allow only TCP connections to the port specified by MOUNTD_PORT in "/etc/sysconfig/nfs" Any attempts to access t...

Hi, I have a autofs configured to mount home dir from NFS. All user accounts lookup is done using LDAP. All is working fine with this setup. Now I need to create a local user account and have its home dir also on local system. So I added a new user account and changed auto.home as follows: test1 -rw,hard,intr...

Hi, I am installing a Samba 3.0.1 on RH90 for a little school, and they want to have access to a mobile usb-harddrive. The harddrive shoud be mapped via the login script, and here is were my troubles begin.... I have been experimenting with the autofs service, which works great if the harddrive is present at login time. If one login at a time where the harddrive isn't present the login script fails and the drive mapping isn't made. Yes i know why... at login time the autofs generated directory doesn,t exist. Then i made a directory (...

Hi, I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place, so if this belongs more on another list, please let me know. I am trying to get Autofs configured to use LDAP on CentOS5.3, but am running into an inconsitency. On CentOS5.3, the openldap server is installed with an extra schema/redhat/autofs.schema file. From what I can tell, that schema file seems to follow RFC2307bis. In the schema, it uses cn and ou. However, in all docs I c...
