I have a box that is running both autofs and nfsserver. My home directories are exported via the nfs server with the autofs picking up the directories am mounting them on home. My auto.master file looks like the following: /smb /etc/auto.smb /net /etc/auto.net -rw,soft,intr --timeout 60 /home /etc/auto.home --timeout 60 The auto.home file looks like the following: apps polaris:/export/home/& apps_admin polaris:/export/home/& bit_torrent polaris:/export/home/& loo polaris:/export/home/& mysql polaris:/export/home/& postgres polaris:/export/home/& wwwrun polaris:/export/home/& When I boot the machine up initially, and login in one of the common users, e.g., bit_torrent it can not find the home fie directory. If I login as root and restart autofs, i.e., /etc/init.d/autofs restart the home directories will appear correctly. At that point the system can now find the home directories. The same problem occur if I try to list the exported directory, i.e., ls /net/polaris It will not work properly. The /etc/hosts file looks like the following: 127.0.0.1 localhost # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts 192.168.25.15 sirus.home sirus 192.168.25.30 crab.home crab 127.0.0.2 polaris.home polaris Is it possible to use autofs this way, i.e. dhcp? -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
