Hi! I am using (setting up) autofs in conjunction with nis. I have defined a netgroup called nis main through which I would like to administer nis logins and home directory creation. I would, therefore, like the fileservers to export their filesystems to the nis servers without root squash. I would like to specify the set of nis servers via netgroups. But that does not seem to be working. Please help!
[root@nis-slave-3 backup]# cat /etc/exports /backup @nismain(rw,no_root_squash) [root@nis-slave-3 backup]# ypcat -k netgroup nismain (dns,,) (nis-slave-1,,) (nis-slave-2,,) (nis-slave-3,,) [root@nis-slave-3 backup]# host dns dns.cse.iitkgp.ernet.in has address 10.5.18.64 [root@nis-slave-3 backup]# host cs-ws-64 cs-ws-64.cse.iitkgp.ernet.in has address 10.5.18.64 [root@nis-slave-3 backup]# cat /var/lib/nfs/xtab /backup cs-ws-64.cse.iitkgp.ernet.in(rw,async,wdelay,hide,secure,root_squash,no_all_squash,subtree_check,secure_locks,mapping=identity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2) Autofs is working otherwise. Thanks and regards, Chitta
