I have just upgraded to suse 9. My machine is set up as an NIS client. But it wont moount any home directories. Actually this isnt strictly true.
In order to actually make it an NIS client in the first place I had to add a line to /etc/fstab to mount the home direcories, which looks like this:
homer:/home /home nfs rw 0 0
That line looks valid, assuming "homer" is a valid HOST name that your computer knows about.
But when the machine boots, this line appears to be ignored. If I go to command line and type mount -a it reruns fstab and mount everything fine.
:) I know why that is (see below).
My question is why doest this happen at boot up? Am I missing something this line that would stop it mounting at boot time?
You have to ensure that the NFS Server is running (hint, tweak the variable in /etc/rc.config), that way it runs before the drives are mounted.
