hi kim....
i am assuming you want lcars:/home to be your home directory
on lcars and on your linux box...
my simple-minded solution for the above...
linux# mv /home /home.suse
linux# ln -s /.autofs/home /
linux# cat /etc/auto.master
/.autofs /etc/auto.home --timeout 600
linux# cat /etc/auto.home
home -fstype=nfs lcars:/home
linux# /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs stop ; /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs start
linux# ls -la /home/kim_stuff
- should show your stuff...
-
if not...whats the content of /etc/auto.* and
the entries in the log files
have fun
