Ldap issues
 

please can someone help.

I configured ldap server (RHEL 6.4) and client (RHEL 6.4) and then mounted it with autofs but each time i login as an ldapuser i get this error

[root@examserver ~]# su - ldapuser2

su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/guests/ldapuser2: No such file or directory.
-bash-4.1$ id
uid=502(ldapuser2) gid=502(ldapuser2) groups=502(ldapuser2) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
-bash-4.1$ pwd
/root
-bash-4.1$


my autofs file looks like this:

* -fstype=ext3,rw,hard,intri ldap.example.com:/home/guests/&

service autofs reload.
please tell me where i can be getting it all missed up.
Thank you.

well it says the directory doesn't exist. Is that true or not? is the mount happening? Not seeing anything LDAP related at all here yet, this would be autofs related.

Thanks for your response,
The directory does exit...... check it out.

[root@examserver ~]# getent passwd ldapuser2
ldapuser2:*:502:502:ldapuser2:/home/guests/ldapuser2:/bin/bash
[root@examserver ~]# su - ldapuser2
Creating home directory for ldapuser2.
su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/guests/ldapuser2: No such file or directory
-bash-4.1$
And my autofs file looks like this .....
vi /etc/auto.guests
* -fstype=ext3,rw,hard,intri ldap.example.com:/home/guests/&
service autofs reload.

Do i need to edit any other file than the /etc/auto.master where i have the auto.guests specified?

as above, does the directory exist? Your updates there don't prove it at all. And is the mount happening?

The directory does exit at the server side and the mount too I believe is happening which is why I can have the home directory sometimes when I login but why I don't have home directory sometimes too after logging in is what am trying to resolve.

You can't *believe* it's happening, it either is or it isn't. run "mount" at the point of login and check.
