problem in NIS

[Hari Prasad S R]

Hi,

I have configured NIS Master server in HP-UX 11.00 and i have configured clients also, but if i login to client using NIS users it is not going into the home folder of the users, instead it is going to / , and also it is not loging into CDE mode (it is going to failsafe mode).

i feel the problem is in auto_master or auto_home, can any one tell how to configure auto_master and auto_home for NIS users so that they can get home directories from the Master Server.

Thanks in advance

Hari,
I assume you want to specifically automount each user's home directory at login?
Are you happy you have automounting set up
correctly?
Have you considered just having them nfs shared and already mounted? That would be much more simple.

We have all users' "home" directories under
3 filesystems on our main file server: /home0, /home1, /home2.
These 3 are just automounts. ie. anyone trying to access /home2 from a client box - eg to /home2/gfer when gfer logs in -
gets /home2 mounted. It does not use auto_home though.
