Hello,

I'm trying to set up autofs, and partly it's working fine. On my client
system I get my home directory mounted (through NFS). This works. 

bash-2.03$ cd /home
bash-2.03$ ls -l
total 2
drwxr-xr-x  46 stefan   stefan       2048 Jul 25 12:36 stefan

bash-2.03$ cd stefan
bash-2.03$ df .
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
alpha:/export/home/stefan 
                     8579028   5034757   3099395  62% /home/stefan

Now on my server I'd also like the home directories to be mounted using
NFS. Right now autofs is putting down symbolic links:

[stefan@cgmd77035 /home]$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           16 Jul 25 12:32 stefan ->
/data/home/stefan

I'm also running a webserver on my "server". If I want my homepage to be
serverd up by apache I have to
turn on "follow symbolic links" which I don't want to do. (This is a
redhat system, document root is in
/home/httpd, personal homepages are in ~/.html/).

How can I setup the autofs on my server so it will NFS mount the home
directories (eventhough they're on
the same system)??

I don't know if these are the right groups to post in for this question,
if there are better places to ask
this question please let me know. Thanks!!!

bash-2.03$ ypcat auto.home
alpha:/data/home/stefan
alpha:/data/home/ftp
alpha:/data/home/samba
alpha:/data/home/httpd

(cgmd77035 and alpha are the same machine: cgmd77035 is the cablemodem
interface, alpha is the local interface.
The nfsd is running, and the home-dir's are exported).
