Hi,
I'm using Autofs and LDAP for mounting my home directories via nfs.
In
general, everything seems to work fine. However, I have one small
problem.
If I reboot my server using autofs while my LDAP server is down, I
get the
following error message in my logs:
automount[3358]:
bind_ldap_anonymous: lookup(ldap): Unable to bind to the
LDAP server:
(default), error Can't contact LDAP server
which is understandable, since
my ldap server is temporarily down.
My problem, however, is that once my
ldap server is back up, autofs never
seems to retry to connect to it, so all
my /home mounts fail. Basically, it
means I have to make sure that my LDAP
server is never down while another
server is rebooting.
I figure there
must be something in the configuration file that would allow
me to tweak this
to indicate to autofs to recheck the ldap server
periodically to see if it
has come back up, but can't seem to find anything.
My
/etc/sysconfic/autofs file is pretty plain:
# TIMEOUT - set the default mount
timeout (default 600).
#
TIMEOUT=300
# LOGGING - set default log
level "none", "verbose" or "debug"
#
LOGGING="verbose"
# Other
common LDAP
nameing
#
MAP_OBJECT_CLASS="automountMap"
ENTRY_OBJECT_CLASS="automount"
MAP_ATTRIBUTE="ou"
ENTRY_ATTRIBUTE="cn"
VALUE_ATTRIBUTE="automountInformation"
Is
there anything I can do to force autofs to check to see if my LDAP server
is
back online?
Thanks,
Eric
