Dear Thaths, I followed your recipe, and here are the results

>1. Install OS on the server.
>2. Install and configure NFS to export /home
done. I was able to ensure that the right directory was being exported by
#showmount -e 192.168.1.1
Export list for 192.168.1.1:
/home *
>3. Install and configure NIS and its various maps
I setup NIS, and I configured the auto.home and auto.master according to
your previous instructions
>4. Install OS on the client.
>5. Configure and run /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind
>6. Run 'ypcat passwd', 'ypcat -k auto.master' and 'ypcat -k auto.home'
#ypcat passwd : worked
#ypcat -k auto.master
No such map auto.master. Reason: No such map in server's domain
I checked the server, but this file was present. I got the same result for
ypcat -k auto.home
>on client to see if everything related to NIS is reaching the client
>fine.
>7. Now before installing and configruing autofs, log in as rajeev. You
>will be able to log in but your home directory will not be mounted.
>Then log out.
Although they were erros in step 6, this step worked as predicted.
>8. Now become root and make run 'mount -t nfs
server_name:/home/rajeev
>/u/rajeev' (i.e. mount the home directory manually from the server onto
>the client.
The directory successfully mounted, but on ls, the following message was
displayed on the server :
fh_verify: home/rajeev permission failure, acc=4, error=13
I've stopped at this point to type this mail.
Rajeev

>10. Now unmount the manually mounted /u/rajeev . Install autofs,
>configure it, run /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs start, and log in as rajeev
>and see what happens.
