I'm working on a client setup for thin-client machines in an AD with about 2000 users. One of the requirements is that the server (an LTSP box) not store each and every user's home directory. All of our users have a Home Folder setting in their AD object, and I'd like to use samba to mount that as "home." What works now: smbd, nmbd, winbindd. Compiled Samba 3.0 onto a

I'm using NIS for authentication, and would like to use auto.home to mount a particular share on an NT server as $HOME when an NIS-mapped user logs in. I'd rather have the mount occur at each login rather than at boot, as we have a total of seven NT shares which potentially could contain a given users' directory. I can set the correct share for each user at the NIS user, but how do I

Howdy, I setup a test NIS domain that i'd like to test the home automounting feature so basically i done this; -Setup the NIS server and domain, make changes on Makefile to include auto.master, auto.home -had the client successfully connected to new NIS domain. on NIS/NFS server i added this on /etc/auto.master file; /home /etc/auto.home on /etc/auto.home i have this; *

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

Sorry about the lengthy post - I'm putting as much in here as I can in hopes that someone can help me ferret out the problem. Basic problem is that domain users can't successfully log into the linux box. I'm trying to set this box up as an ltsp server authenticating against our existing AD (although this is actually in a test lab - I didn't really want to trash anything real

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'm posting here before going through all the fun to do up a real bug report to see if anyone else has seen this behavior. I have two identical Dynex external USB3 drive enclosures with identical 3TB drives in each enclosure.

Adam, Rather than using /etc/fstab (works fine), for users with different share requirements, you could set up a mount point in autofs. In the /etc/auto.master file, set up the mount point and connection file /home/user/mnt /etc/auto.user --timeout=60 Then in your /etc/auto.user file, set up the specific share connection (sub appropriate values for user, uid and IP/share) xpbox

Alle, I'm following the instructions in section 19.3.3.2 of the docs @ http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-nfs-config-autofs-LDAP.html, but I cannot add the following entry in LDAP: dn: automountMapName=auto.home,dc=subaru,dc=nao,dc=ac,dc=jp objectClass: top objectClass: automountMap automountMapName: auto.home After looking at the schemas in /etc/openldap/schema,

I'm having a problem with automount (autofs) from a server running CentOS 5.4 to clients (example is CentOS 5.4). Client pulls automount maps from NIS. THIS particular server is also used for login so it is NIS bound as well (other servers are NOT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NIS Server Side...

Hi, We've been using autofs and LDAP automount maps for years now, and it has worked well. We run an environment that has CentOS, RHEL, Solaris and FreeBSD servers and clients. Historically, all our automount maps have looked like this: -vers=3 server:/export/home/& However, we're switching to NFSv4 and therefore we need to remove the -vers=3 flag. For CentOS 6.3, Solaris and

Disregard yesterday's message from me regarding dots in the username. I've tried debugging and what I found was, unless I try to logon as a domain admin to a win2k share, I get ERRDOS. The machine I'm using is joined to the domain, and is using Samba version 2.2.5. Here's my mount command: mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/smb -o username=[username] where username is a user

I've been experimenting with setting up a CentOS 7 client using automount maps from Active Directory via sssd I've followed the instructions given at: https://ovalousek.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/autofs/ and all works fine However, I can't seem to make the client 'see' new map entries added to the map on the AD server - I've tries reducing various timeout settings in

Environment: HP-UX 10.20 Samba 1.9.18p10 ; compiled with -DAUTOMOUNT option. We are using our samba server to mount various automounted directories including user's home. auto.home map takes care of mounting user's home automagically but for other directories, I have to put a share name for each of them (and there are hundreds of them). Is it possible to define one share name (like
