# getsebool -a |grep nfs
use_nfs_home_dirs --> inactive

is that inactive causing problem?

i tried setting the value 1. But did not make any diff.

#setsebool use_nfs_home_dirs 1

here i am not able to get a login prompt when i try to login throug ldap authentication where the home directory is getting nfs/autmounted from ldap/nfs server. Not sure if ldap is giving trouble. How to disable to ldap client service for stopping/testing for a while

But i tried a seprate mount point making an NFS and i am able to mount them a client side.So nfs communication is ok.

put comments on every line of /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf files

or

#checkconfig ldap off

#service ldap stop

the problem is at the client side(only one client effected). is there a client sevice other than the client configuration files?
