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.

To get the automount schema to work with the git checkout of samba 4 I had to modify the automount schema files and separate the attributes from the classes. I also discovered that it's required to have the ntSecurityDescriptor , instanceType, and objectCategory attributes. Without these it will crash whenever you try to browse... I did alot of stopping samba, tarring of /usr/local/samba and

Hi all, I would like to use AutoFS on Samba but I encounter difficulties with ldap entries. I have already add the Automount Schema from the Wiki (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_schema_extensions) but I can't add "auto_master" and the folowings leaf. I tried : dn: automountmapname=auto_master,dc=MYDOMAIN automountMapName: auto_master objectClass: automountMap

...MapName: auto.home After looking at the schemas in /etc/openldap/schema, I find that "automountMapName" does not exist: [root at loa schema]# find . -exec grep auto {} \; -ls attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.25 NAME 'automountInformation' DESC 'Information used by the autofs automounter' objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.13 NAME 'automount' SUP top STRUCTURAL DESC 'An entry in an automounter map' MUST ( cn $ automountInformation ) objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.2312.4.2.2 NAME 'automountMap' SUP top STRUCTURAL DESC 'An group of related automount objects'...

I'm running Samba with automount to automatically mount CDs in a server. These CDs need to be changed periodically, so I wanted to use automount so that they could be changed by the users fairly easily. We use logon scripts to map the CDs to drive letters when users logon. Unfortunately, it seems that having a drive mapped is treated like the drive is being used, so as long as there is

...ut I am sure most everyone knows how automount works in basic... Ok, so I want to do a read share out for all the users home areas... I could just set up a share one /home, but then since its an automount, /home/user1 wouldn't show up until user1 did something on the file server that keyed the automounter to kick in. Is there a way to have samba cause the automounter to kick in and mount it? I was actually suprised it didn't in the first place, but maybe its due to the way explorer browses, meaning it determintes that the path doesn't exist and doesn't even try to do it. -grant

hi, I'm not sure if this is the right list. my client is sharing a folder via samba (/export) In that folder there is a automount-entry for my usbstick (/export/usbstick) On another host i can mount the export with mount.smbfs As soon as I access the stick (so automount gets active) i cannot umount the share. Get error: device is busy (automount timeout is set to 2sec.) When i never access

Running latest CentOS 7.5. Since I found out about automount unit files I've had mixed results using them to mount shares from my NAS. Lately they seem to hang if I touch the mount point, but I can start the mount unit without problems. I had it working months ago, so I'm thinking something changed in the systemd updates. For each mount point, I have two files in /etc/systemd/system

Samba 4.0.0beta3, CentOS 6.2 32-bit. I am loading the automount schema into a vanilla Samba4 database. The schema can be found at: http://http://www.cbe.cornell.edu/~smt/Automount_template.txt and I am loading the schema as follows (samba is shut down): ldbadd -H private/sam.ldb.d/CN=SCHEMA,CN=CONFIGURATION, \ DC=DOMAIN,DC=TEST,DC=CORNELL,DC=EDU.ldb Automount_template.txt This appears

I have an odd automount problem. The first time I look in an automounted filesystem (when the mount is requested), it is empty; the second time it is not. Moreover, I only see this behavior on Centos 4.x systems, but not on Centos 5.0 systems going to the same fileserver. Here's an example, with some details simplified to clarify. In this example, fileserver1 is exporting fs1.

I checked the archives and automounter is only mentioned for home dirs. Our organization would like to implement SAMBA but we have over 150 mount points. Is there a way we can use automounter maps with SAMBA? Having to edit smb.conf each time we add/remove a mount point would be quite annoying and time consuming. Cheers, --- Jeff N...

Hello, I have problem with automount, winbind and nsswitch.conf.

Hi all! I'm trying to set up autofs on my C7 netbook so I can automount a cifs share (actually two) from my NAS box, and because when I'm not at home I don't want it attempting to mount it. so I've read several howtos on it, including the one on the CentOS Wiki. but what I've got isn't working right, and I don't know why. I'm trying to follow the

Automounter creates virtual mount points on demand and so if there are existing directories already in place it will fail. Stop autofs. Move the /home out of the way.

I''m trying to manage a directory full of symlinks for our users'' home directories and running into problems. Our home directories are spread out across multiple NFS partitions. For flexibility and ease of use, we have a /u directory that contains symlinks to each user''s specific home directory, e.g. /u/bob -> /home/k/bob, /u/eric -> /home/b/eric, etc. The

rsync'ing from NFS automounted /home directories does not appear to work as expected. Initially it automounts all the home directories, and copies the tree. However, when I run the same command a second time, it deletes all the files for with the /home directory happened to be unmounted. Some more details: Using 'ypmatch -k auto.home', I generate a list of /home/ directories to

In brief: Is there is anyway to trigger the same automount mechanism, that X appears to use, on unmounted USB drives that are already connected? Background: I've got a C6 server with default desktop GUI installed for the sake of the onsite admin. There is a bash script I wrote that runs every night checking for specific folders on any drive and dumps data into it. To ensure fs integrity, I
