auto mount loader problem into HP-Ux 10.20

sadat — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:51:02 GMT

I have problem with auto mount loader into hp-ux 10.20.

Scenario like this

NIS Server: NISMaster (Solaris box with Suns Solaris 9 x86))

All users are on NIS Master Server

NFS Server : NFS Server (Solaris box with Sun Solaris 5.9)

/builds/tools
/ builds /unixhome
/ builds /allbuilds
/ builds /p4ws/windows
/users/unixhome
/users/miscel

NIS Clinet Box : HP-Ux 10.20

# showmount -e 10.218.2.225
export list for 10.218.2.225:
/builds/tools (everyone)
/ builds /unixhome (everyone)
/ builds /allbuilds (everyone)
/ builds /p4ws/windows (everyone)
/users/unixhome (everyone)
/users/miscel (everyone)

On HP-Ux 10.20 client box

Local directory /unixhome -> mount point for all users of nis master server

# cat /etc/auto.master
/unixhome /etc/auto.home -nosuid

# cat /etc/auto.home
* &/users/unixhome/&
#

When I logged in by using any nis user into hp-ux 10.20 box home directory of that particular is mounted automatically.

Any help on this please

Thanks

Hi,

It's not clear to me what desired behavior you're looking for or what problem you're having. Is something not working the way you want? If so, what is failing? When it fails, what error does it report?

Regards,

Dave

I have one HP-UX 10.20 box & automount not working on this box.

My question is:
1. Whether HP-Ux 10.20 support automount?
2. If so what are the steps.

HP-Ux box is NIS Client.

NIS Users home directory should be automatically mounted on this box.

A home directory of NIS user not mounted. It shows / (root) only when NIS user connect from this box.

Thanks

Yes, 10.20 supports both the old automounter and AutoFS. We delivered AutoFS with the ACE 2.0 release in April 1998.

Here is the link to the "Installing and Administering NFS Services with 10.20 ACE and HWE" manual:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/B1031-90043/B1031-90043.pdf

It should cover all topics of installing and configuring NIS, AutoFS, etc.

Dave

Hi,

your syntax in auto.home is incorrect:
>>
# cat /etc/auto.home
* &/users/unixhome/&
<<

Change it to contain a colon between the hostname and directory name part:
* &:/users/unixhome/&

and try again. NTL, here may be other hints as well ....

Note that running NFS mounted home directories *can* be troublesome even when they do mount. Shells, at least ksh, has known issues with the history file.

you might want to search this site using "history nfs" as search args
