And what should happen if both alice and bob are logged in? In that case, both directories would be auto-mounted, and nothing would prevent them to cd to the other's $HOME. > (For another unrelated question, all the /home/* directories must have > 777 permissions, so I'm trying to securize the access to the /home/* > directories using automount.) It's not unrelated. I think it's crucial. If you don't want A to look (&more) into B's stuff then set the permissions right. If you need another user to have access to all of them, use a special group for that (with 77x permissions, then) which nobody else belongs to. Sorry, but I can't see another solution (as long as you don't explain what the rationale behind 777 would be) S -- Steffen Grunewald * MPI Grav.Phys.(AEI) * Am Mühlenberg 1, D-14476 Potsdam Cluster Admin * http://pandora.aei.mpg.de/merlin/ * http://www.aei.mpg.de/ * e-mail: steffen.grunewald(*)aei.mpg.de * +49-331-567-{fon:7233,fax:7298} No Word/PPT mails - http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
