I believe I know what happened. The minute I got autofs working properly on the diskless workstations (and elsewhere), the code triggering the sshfs mounting stepped aside and left it to autofs to handle the home directory mount. We can disable autofs on diskless workstations and use sshfs instead. The question is, do we want to? To test for yourself, install a thin client server and add 'exit 0' at the end of /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/default/autofs and boot a diskless workstation. This will block autofs from starting, and when the user log in, sshfs is used instead. If we go with NFSv4/autofs, I believe we should add a script in /usr/share/ldm/rc.d/ to detect if the home directory is missing and show a popup suggesting to add the host in the workstation-hosts group, to reduce the amount of problems caused by missing NIS netgroup membership. A similar/the same script can be placed in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ for use on workstations and thin client servers. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
