I'm migrating from C7 to C8.? I'm currently using autofs, but alas autofs has been dropped in C8 for the AMD automounter. I have some very ancient knowledge of AMD, I used it when it was first introduced many years ago on Solaris and moved to Sun's automounter when it was introduced. So now it's back to square one. I used automount2amd to convert one of my existing maps,

Shifting from a v2 samba server to v3 - Read documentation and googled LOTS but can't seem to find the bits that apply to my simple(?) server with regards to groups. # rpm -qi samba Version : 3.0.28 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 1.el5_2.1 Source RPM: samba-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1.src.rpm Samba on server (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2) IS MOSTLY WORKING... home directories

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 all, I have an NFS server on our network sharing out package files for Puppet to install to all and sundry. The clients access said NFS server via an automounter configuration (I don''t want the packages share mounted all the time, only when installing packages) As a result, installation of packages depends on autofs... So I have the following: service { "autofs": ensure

Has anyone gotten this to work? Im studing for my rhce and was trying to get this to work and its just not working like it shows in the book im going by. So basically I have two centos 7 servers running under kvm.. One is the nfs server, one is the nfs client.. I have been mounting up other NFS shares on the client and they work fine.. The automounter also seems to mount direct mounts fine as

Greetings - [SIGH: I hit the "Send" button instead of "Attach". Here's Take 2...] Whilst playing with getting quotas from NFS-mounted filestores I've just discovered a slight problem with src/lib/mountpoint.c I had things working on a Solaris 10 test machine which had the mailstore mounted 'normally' using an entry in /etc/vfstab. However when I changed

I want it when a user if to authenticate to the system a network mapping to be automatically mounted by the /etc/fstab Sample: //192.168.200.3/Commercial /media/Commercial cifs auto,users,username=<domain-user>,passwor=<password> How do I get the domain username of the user logged and the password to set up the mapping? If isn't possible, what is the best way ? I'm using

Hi! I'm having trouble accessing Samba shares via autofs. Let me begin by saying that I can access the samba shares directly using smbclient without any trouble. For example: smbclient //Matsa/Pisi works fine. I first started out by copying a config line from an older system (redhat 7) that has in its auto.misc: (all on one line, of course) pisi

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 timeout of 0 but it doesn't seem to work.

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,

Hello, Been try to use autofs to mount and unmount a usb flashdrive. The mount point is /media When the drive is NOT inserted, /media is empty. When Iinsert the drive, I see directories in /media that are on the usb drive but nocontent. So, its kind working. /etc/auto,master: # # Sample auto.master file # This is a 'master' automounter map and it has thefollowing format: #

hi, I use automounter to mount to many hosts /net/<hostname>/dir When the hostname is unavaliable it seems NFS gets stuck. I would like to set a NFS timeout (say 60 secs). If not available then error. I need to use hardmount but is there such a thing as NFS client timeout? -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--

Is there a good guide for how to set up a Samba based AD domain controller with RFC2307 attributes so I can experiment... I can't get the Windows guys in my company to do anything Microsoft don't provide a check box for, unless I can teach them how to do it... but I've not used any of these Windows technologies for a very long time... At least if I can show a working system then

I have a simple automount configuration problem. I've done two similar, clean, Custom installations of CentOS 5.0, on two similar, but not identical boxes. On my box, automount is working perfectly. On my daughter's box, it's not working. If I put the FC6 DVD into the drive in my box, I can see the contents of the DVD, without any problem. If I cat /etc/mtab in my box, I see this line:

Does autofs take completed control of directories mentioned in auto.master? The examples with /home show that you can specify individual users instead of * and &, but even then it seems to take over the whole /home level so you can't see or add local subdirs. I have a small group of users/hosts where I would like to at least temporarily mix/match who is automounted or not. -- Les
