[getting a bit OT for Sun Ray, but the thread started here so...] Okay, I remember now why I didn't use an executable map to begin with; I can't figure out how to call it for our setup.
Our home directories live on an NFS server, as individual per-user ZFS filesystems, and we use the automounter to mount the shares. So we already have entries in auto_master which look something like: /nfs/path/to/home0 /etc/auto.nfs.map -nobrowse Those homes don't exist on the server by default; the plan is to create them the first time a user logs in, export them, and then let the automounter do its usual thing. We have the logic for that all worked out, and we want to call the script which triggers the home create-and-export process on the server during user login. The examples I've found for executable maps seem to assume that either we mount the directory from nfs, OR we create it locally; I don't see any use cases where we would both call an executable map and manage a directory using the automounter. Would I just add the executable map alongside the existing map? Say, alter the above to the following? /nfs/path/to/home0 /etc/auto_home_create.sh /nfs/path/to/home0 /etc/auto.nfs.map -nobrowse This seems ambiguous. Also, how do I pass an argument to my executable map to tell the server which directory to create? In PAM, we have tokens like "%u" which expand to the user name being authenticated; is there some similar facility in the automounter? In the example Meik linked, I see: hdir=$(echo ~$1) This implies that the executable map is called with the authenticating user name as $1, is that the case? I hope this makes sense...
