Greetings all- I have a strange problem with AutoFS under Fedora Core 5. Can't seem to automount via ldap the way I should be able to. If I have:
automount: files ldap in /etc/nsswitch.conf, and have: /projects ldap://ldapserver.domain.com/nisMapName=auto.projects,dc=domain,dc=com in /etc/auto.master, everything works. However, I don't want my clients to be configured this way because I have two redundant OpenLDAP servers and would like AutoFS to automatically try a second LDAP server if the first one goes down. So I put this in /etc/nsswitch.conf: automount: ldap and tried to restart AutoFS, and got the error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] default]# /etc/init.d/autofs start Starting automount: No Mountpoints Defined [ OK ] [EMAIL PROTECTED] default]# But there ARE automount maps in OpenLDAP, as the first method works. If I try the "automount" command manually, I get this in the logs: Jul 26 13:06:34 sunbright automount[22965]: starting automounter version 4.1.4-19, path = /projects, maptype = ldap, mapname = nisMapName=auto.projects,dc=domain,dc=com Jul 26 13:06:34 starbright automount[22965]: lookup(ldap): couldn't bind to default server The server does accept anonymous lookups. I even watched the traffic (via tcpdump) from the client to the server and there was no traffic at all! Seems the client isn't even trying to contact any of my LDAP servers. Does anyone have any ideas as to what's happening? Like I said I would like the automounter to try each of my 3 servers in order listed in /etc/ldap.conf, so manually specifying one server in /etc/auto.master isn't very appealing... Thanks in advance for any insight! ciao, erich _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
