Hello everybody, since I'm using the automount 5, I'm confronted with a very strange behaviour. I use it to mount user directories over nfs. The automounter maps are provided by NIS und users usually have to login only into client computers remotely using rsh or ssh. Now i encounter the following misbehaviour:
At the init, automounter seems to start properly, but if someone logins over the network into the client machine, the automounter ignores all mount requests (i.e. there is no automounter activity at all). Even a restart changes nothing. But if someone log ins on the client machine over a tty, everything works fine. Therefor i enabled debug mode verbosity and this is the output from syslog: after the start up during boot or after a restart later: automount[1910]: Starting automounter version 5.0.2, master map auto.master automount[1910]: using kernel protocol version 5.00 automount[1910]: lookup_nss_read_master: reading master nis auto.master automount[1910]: lookup_init: lookup(yp): ctxt->mapname=auto.master automount[1910]: parse_init: parse(sun): init gathered global options: (null) automount[1910]: mount_init: mount(bind): bind_works = 1 after login per tty: automount[1910]: master_do_mount: mounting /users automount[1910]: lookup_nss_read_map: reading map yp auto.users automount[1910]: lookup_init: lookup(yp): ctxt->mapname=auto.users automount[1910]: parse_init: parse(sun): init gathered global options: (null) automount[1910]: mount_init: mount(bind): bind_works = 1 automount[1910]: mounted indirect mount on /users with timeout 600, freq 150 seconds automount[1910]: ghosting enabled It seems, that a login through tty sends an wake up event to the automount deamon, because all remote logins are ignored. This behaviour seems also to be independent of all different automounter and NIS configuration variants or options. I have tried a lot of different (properly working over tty) configurations without any effect on this strange behaviour. Any idea? _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
