On a remote machine (somehostname.platform.com) I have the following configuration: /etc/exports: ========= /home *(rw,async) auto.master: LDAP map =============== dn: ou=autofs,dc=platform,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: autofs dn: ou=auto.master,ou=autofs,dc=platform,dc=com objectClass: top objectCLass: automountMap ou: auto.master dn: cn=/home,ou=auto.master,ou=autofs,dc=platform,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: automount cn: /home automountInformation: ldap:ou=auto.home,ou=autofs,dc=platform,dc=com auto.home: LDAP map =============== dn: ou=auto.home,ou=autofs,dc=platform,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: automountMap ou: auto.home dn: cn=sstarr,ou=auto.home,ou=autofs,dc=platform,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: automount cn: sstarr automountInformation: -fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid somehostname.platform.com:/home:& The goal is to be able to share /home from *both* NFS exports and combine them like NIS does (with +auto.home). So on the local machine: if I do cd /home/install or cd /home/sstarr I can see both as if they were one mounted point. I can do this if I add the following to my LDAP maps: dn: cn=install,ou=auto.home,ou=autofs,dc=platform,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: automount cn: install automountInformation: 10.1.1.75:/export/home/install Which basically does what I'm trying to do, but its a hack since I have to use an LDAP entry instead of using the local 10.1.1.75 /etc/auto.home mapping On the 10.1.1.75 local machine I have the /etc/nsswitch.conf as: automount: files ldap If it finds valid automounts in the 10.1.1.75's local /etc/auto.master it ignores the LDAP maps so I only get one automount set up. This isn't the behavour I'm looking for. I need a way to tell automount that even though it found valid maps in /etc/auto.master, look for additional maps from LDAP also. I hope this clears things up :-) Thanks, Shawn. _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
