yea its working fine giving me out put .
showmount -e 172.16.4.80
output : export list for 172.16.4.80
/export/home (everyone)

ls -l /net/172.16.4.80/export/home
this command showing me folders with there permissions.

ls -ld /home/test2
showing me test2 permissions which are
drwxr-xr-x 2 test2 root

After that i tried to login from test2 on client machine but still error is there "unable to access home directory"

But you still can login as test2 or not ?

i can login as test2 . But the problem was that home directory was not mouting n still after doing this i cannot be able to access home directory of test2. The problem is still there.

Please elaborate.
Copy and paste the results of these commands executed on your client machine:

bash-2.05# telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.


SunOS 5.9

login: test2

bash-2.05$ echo $HOME

bash-2.05$ pwd
/
bash-2.05$ ls -ld $HOME
drwxr-xr-x 43 root root 1536 Aug 15 09:15 /

What gives these commands on the client machine ?

bash-2.05# grep test2 /etc/passwd
bash-2.05# ldaplist -vl passwd test2

Huh ??
Why did you change the homeDirectory attribute which was correct in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...63#post2369363 ?

You Wrote that
By the way, the usual convention is to have the home directories on /export/home/<username> not /home/<username>.
So i change it to /export/home/test2

You are confusing the physical location of directories shared by the NFS server with the logical home directories.

In that previous post, I was talking about physical location which are indeed by convention /export/<something>. I was later asking you to try "ls -ld /home/test2" on the client machine, which should have lead you to understand the difference.

Home directories have always been under Unix, and still are /home/<username>, so revert test2 homeDirectory attribute to its correct value and see what's happen.

listen sir its been really confusing .
Now you are saying that i should give the path of user in Home Directory attribute in the Directory Server like this /home/test2 ???? .
well i did this in office i change it n try to login from client. But i will try it again tomorrow.
If i misunderstand something plz do let me know.
thx
wait a min well
I was later asking you to try "ls -ld /home/test2" on the client machine..

yes i did that on client machine not on server.

Absolutely.
Yes, that was the right test.

ok i will check it.
listen can we implement quota on users using Directory Server? i mean test2 user can assign only 50 MB like we do in Active Directory.
