HP-UX NIS auto_master

Dears,
Good day,

 

I'm trying to build auto_master and auto_home map pages. I created auto_home and added it to my NIS now there is auto.home map but the issue is I cannot configure it. I need to configure it only on NIS master. So, I thought about the following:

 

in my /etc/NIS/auto_master :

+auto_home

 

in my /etc/NIS/auto_home

/rhome/* -rw,nosuid NFSSRV:/export/home/&

 

But this not working becuase after the ypmake I get the following on NIS master :

 

# ypcat auto.master

#
# ypcat auto.home
-rw,nosuid      NFSSRV:/export/home/&
#

What am I doing wrong and why auto.master is empty?

 

Thanks

Re: HP-UX NIS auto_master

The fact that you have your maps in /etc/NIS tells me you're using a non-default map location. Did you take care to ensure you updated all the NIS configuration files to reflect this non-default directory?

 

Here's a quick test.  Try doing a "touch /etc/NIS/auto_master" followed by a "ypmake" and see if it rebuilds the auto.master map.  If not, I'd surmise your NIS configuration is not setup correctly to recognize the non-default map directory.

Hi, 

 

I'm sure it's reading from /etc/NIS also, I removed the /etc/auto_master 

 

Thanks

Re: HP-UX NIS auto_master

Dears,

Good day,

 

Is there any way to do it from single map? I want to do it like this :

 

On NIS Master

/etc/NIS/auto_master

/rhome +auto.home -nobrowse

 

/etc/NIS/auto_home

* NISSERVER:/export/home/&

 

--- but this is not working

 

the only workaround is :

 

/etc/NIS/auto_home

* NISSERVER:/export/home/&

 

on Client :

 

/etc/auto_master

/rhome auto_home -nobrowse

 

/etc/auto_home

+auto.home

 

---- but this will make me do it on all UNIX / Linux NIS clients

 

Is there any way to do it from NIS ??

 

Thanks

Re: HP-UX NIS auto_master

Hello , I have this issue:

 

Users created on NIS master can't log on one of the NIS clients . One error is that cannot create the /home/username/.ssh directory .

 

/home exist on client but don't have permission to write .  I try to change manually with chmod , and the message is :

 

 

chmod: can't change /home: Read-only file system

 

How can I change this ? 

 

 

[/etc]root@server>cat auto_master
## Configured using SAM by root on Wed Oct 11 09:29:58 2006
/home auto.home -nobrowse,nosuid
/net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
/- auto.direct

 

Thank you in advance .

Carlos.
