I have a Sun Ultra 60 Raid 5 server running 2.6 that we are testing as a $HOME
server for Compaq XP1000 workstations running Tru64 Version 4.0F. On the Sun we
have simply shared the appropriate filesystem with an option of
rw=system:system:system etc. The Compaq's automount the home directory when the
user logs in.
I singled out a few compaq workstations to test this with and it has been
working fine. Today I propogated those changes to the rest of the clients. Now
that I have done that, the remaining clients fail to mount the users home
directory. Well, not exactly. Using "df" before and after the attempted login
will show you the automounter did indeed make the mount however the user does
not have permission to read the data. The user is logged in with a temp home of
/. (Keep in the mind the select machines we used for testing, which are
identical to every other machine, still work ok).
A little investigation shows that if I add the end user to the "system" group on
the Compaq, the user has no problems logging in and seeing all their files. The
same user is not in the system group on the select machines used for testing.
I've checked UID's, GID,s permissions, connectivity... Any thoughts would be
appreciated.
