NIS home dir problm

mgokulagiridara · 02-27-2005, 01:55 AM

hello
i have redhat el4 ES as server and rh 9 as clients. i configured nis on the server, and made my clients to make their login. when my clients logs in, they dont find their respecitve home directory. so, i configured nfs and i added the server mount point to /etc/fstab. so that
eg:
192.168.1.1:/home /home ....
but the clients dont find their home dir.
note: i created the users on the nis server. no users exist in the client
regards
gokul.

you don't necessarily need to do it in your fstab if you use autofs. Man auto.master. Have you tested your NFS server. showmount -e <server_ip> (from the clients). Does your fstab entry have nfs specified in column 3? Is portmap running on the clients? You could post section of fstab and exports. for more clarity
