Hi frnds,

I Hav a problem, I m using redhat server 5.4, and using NIS i have created 5 users user1..user2 ....user5 with home directory in /nhome as on the server...

On the client machine i have done automounting with etc/auto.master file..now comes my problem.whenever i try to login with the user...user can login but is not able to get home directories..
Here are the settins which i have made on server and cleint:

/etc/export
/nhome *(rw,sync)

service portmap restart

service nfs restart

on client:
/etc/auto.master

/nhome /etc/auto.nis

then i have created auto.nis file and in the file i have made following settings:

* 10.121.128.1:/nhome/&

service autofs restart.

i can see /nhome on the client but not the 5 home directories inside the nhome folder...but after softmounting using command:
mount 10.121.128.1:/nhome /mnt
i can see all the 5 home directoried there under /mnt folder...

please help...

the folders will not be mounted until you actually try to use them. do:

ls /nhome/user1
ls /nhome

No working..
i have tried that but its not working...when i do ls /nhome nothing is in there...
but after mounting the same directory temporarily to the /mnt or any other folder i can see the contents.
