I'm trying to add automounting through NIS and it's not working...
Here's the rundown again on automount not working via NIS
NIS is setup and working for logins.
/etc/exports on server:
/apps -root=0 <list of machines>
(note, it's exported fine since I can mount it manually on clients)
(also, local automounts work fine on the clients)
NIS auto.master:
/- /etc/auto.direct -soft (ypcat -k auto.master yields the same)
NIS auto.direct:
/apps -soft,rw host:/apps (ypcat -k auto.direct yields the same)
local auto.master:
/- /etc/auto.direct -soft
local auto.direct:
/home -soft,rw host:/home
(lots of other similar entires, but /apps is NOT in the local auto.direct)
I checked and the client is running automount via: /usr/sbin/automount -M
/A -v -T (the NIS server is running with same if that matters)
We WERE running it using the -m flag (ignore NIS maps).... I turned that OFF!
doing a cd /home (local auto.direct) I get
READLINK call(fh=[5489, 893861332, 33](/home))
READLINK return(stat=OK, data=/A/home)
doing a cd /apps (NIS auto.direct) I get no messages
It's acting as if it doesn't know to check NIS maps, and doesn't even look.
Is there something to add to auto.* or /etc/svc.conf (similar to passwd,
hosts, etc...) to flag the system to say.. hey... look at NIS after
checking locally.
When I try to cd to /apps on a client, it says "/apps: No such file or
directory"
when doing a /var/yp/make....
>updated auto.direct
>Map 'ypslaves.suhep.phy.syr.edu' is empty for domain 'phy.syr.edu'
>
>pushed auto.direct
>updated auto.master
>Map 'ypslaves.suhep.phy.syr.edu' is empty for domain 'phy.syr.edu'
>
>pushed auto.master
I tried stopping automount, removing /A (temp mount), and restarting
automount. It remounted all of the local automounts but nothing from the
NIS automounts.
It is odd... I can mount it manually... local automount works.... and the
client can see the NIS maps... and I *DID* shutoff the -m parameter (to
ignore NIS) in executing automount.
Any clues? I *thought* I covered everything, but I *must* be missing
something.
(PS, all are running Digital Unix 4.0B)
Thanks!
