Remember that over nfs, the client's access to the server will be as
user nobody or nfsnobody, depending on your system, so that user will
have to have access to all those directories/files, unless of course you
use the anonuid/anongid directives in your exports file.

Subject: Userdirs on an NFS share

Hi list,

I'm having a 404 error whenever I try to browse a JSP owned by a user 
(eg: http://server:8080/~paul/test.jsp)

type Status report
message /~paul/test.jsp
description The requested resource (/~paul/test.jsp) is not available.

I guess the trouble comes from my NFS share, since users home 
directories are stored on another server.

If I change the homedirectory to a local directory, it works fine.

If I use a context to the NFS share, it works too.
eg, in my server.xml:
<Context path="/~paul" docBase="/NFS/homes/paul/public_html/" 
crossContext="true" debug="1" reloadable="true" />

But this doesn't work:
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig"
     directoryName="public_html"
     homeBase="/NFS/homes/"
     userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.HomesUserDatabase"/>


I'm using Apache 2.2.9 (from debian lenny),
Tomcat 6.0.18
mod_jk 1.2.27
Users are refered in an LDAP directory (but of course, they are 
recognized by the box and Apache mod_userdir since http://server/~paul 
will display the right index.html)

Is it a bug?
Thanks for your help or any information.

Anthony
