Hi, I just got done reading "OpenLDAP Everywhere" in this month's Linux Journal. I have the authentication part working (which was very simple using YaST2), but I was unable to get autofs working using the LDAP information. Is automounting with LDAP as a source supported in SuSE? (SuSE 8.1) ------ Here is the different stuff that I have tried so far. Let me know if you have any pointers or solutions. I went with the standard configuration stuff (in the article), "automount: ldap files" in /etc/nsswitch.conf, but that didn't work. I tried both autofs3 and autofs4. Then I tried rebuilding the source RPMs with a modified spec file, where I fored autofs to be built with LDAP support by adding the "--with-openldap=/usr/lib" to the "./configure" script. I did this with both the autofs3 and autofs4 packages. The builds and installs went successfully, but apparently there is more to it than just enabling ldap support within autofs. I looked in the autofs control script (/etc/init.d/autofs) and it looks like they are parsing out the /etc/nsswitch.conf file for the "automount:" line and starting stuff from there. In the "getmount()" function they seem to support files, nis, and nisplus, but not ldap. I tried calling /sbin/automount manually. It didn't appear to work correctly, but I may have been calling it incorectly. automount /share ldap:ou=auto.share,dc=alldom,dc=com This just exited silently (exit code 0), but didn't do anything (the process immediately stopped) Thanks, - Lowell
