Hi larry,
1. Make the following entries in the Automount+ NIS Server.
auto.master file:
---------------------
/home auto.home
auto.home file
---------------------
larry silicon:/home/larry ##silicon is the name of the server having the
homedirectories
# make as many entires as the users in the server .
auto.* fils can be in /etc or in yp/nis maps.
Automount daemon has to be started and check the status to see whether the /home
directory is listed in the shared nfs lists
(cmd: autofs status)
2. Export /home filesystem
/etc/exports file
-----------------------
/home *(rw) # read write permission for all systems. Replace * wit h the
clients name.
3. On the NFS/NIS client
/etc/auto.master
-------------------------
/home auto.home
/etc/auto.home
------------------------
larry silicon:/home/larry
Create a /home directory.
run automount daemon here.
Now login as larry into the client system. your home directory should now be
mounted on the client.
I am able to acheive up this level.
I am unable to make the client to read the yp/nis maps for the auto.master and
auto.home
This is what i tried on the client
/etc/auto.master
------------------------
+auto.master # this tells autofs to read yp for auto.master entries
/etc/auto.home
----------------------
+auto.home # same .
Am i doing something wrong?
Any way out of this problem?
Regards
Ramesh

Hi, Ramesh,
I am actually having problems getting my nis/yp clients to mount their home
dir. What OS are you on? I am on Redhat Linux6.0. Could you advise me how
to make automount home directory working on Linux? Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to automount home directories of users with the help of
automount daemon and auto.master and auto.home files.
While logging in from any nis/yp client, the home directory gets mounted
only if
the local /etc/auto.home
file contains entries regarding the user.
It does not take the list from the auto.master and auto.home in the yp
database.
If I create the home directory entry in the nis/yp client's local
/etcauto.home,
the home directory gets mounted.
Is there any way to get rid of this problem.
Regards
Ramesh
