If I do that, then the whole staff folder is mounted, even if only one person is using it. Right. You don't want that. If *only* 'lynn' is logged in you don't want the 'tom', 'dick', 'harry' and 'george' folders mounted :-) Exactly:-)
But the problem is that you are mounting directly under home. The home directories of staff users are defined in LDAP as: /home2/MARINA/staff/lynn
I've always mounter at /mnt/server/home/ and had a symlink from /home/anton/ to /mnt/server/home/anton/ But in my case, it would have to be the other way around. I would mount /home2/MARINA/staff from the server to /mnt/home2/MARINA/staff and symlink from the latter to /home2/MARINA/home2/lynn
That would need a conventional NFS mount to symlink from no?
Well, OK, in some cases I have a minimal skeleton at /mnt/home/anton and everything else symlinked to stuff like /mnt/server/home/anton/Documents
Why would I do that? Well it uses *exactly* the same setup in the automounter but by using the symlinks I have a fall-back whereby I can log in and get something even when the network fails ...
In this case /home2/MARINA/staff does not exist until autofs is started. If /mnt goes, I still get nothing even if /home2/MARINA/staff/lynn existed physically on the client. Which it doesn't.
