I was hoping for something more along the lines of an extension to the?? standard NIS schema. (It's common for AFS sites to have each user's home?? directory be a separately mountable volume, so having some sort of?? user-volume equivalence in LDAP is reasonable.)?If I understand this correctly (I'm not familiar with AFS), this is pretty much the reason why I started to patch lookup_ldap.c in the first place: to pull automount information from user account entries (rather than from an independent hierarchy), with the "uid" attribute used as the autmountKey, when mounting user directories. Seems the natural way of doing it to me.
The same problem is going to emerge with sites where home directories are on Solaris ZFS volumes.
I'm probably going to handle it with a programmatic map, here, both on our Solaris and Linux machines. Hacking the program map we use now is easier than reinventing the whole wheel, axle, and car....
