Also, if I look in /var/adm/messages, I'm getting the following:
Feb 6 16:26:39 aurora automount[2647]: attempting to mount entry /home/tibberi Feb 6 16:26:40 aurora automount[2656]: lookup(ldap): query failed for (&(objectclass=nisObject)(cn=tibberi)) Feb 6 16:26:40 aurora automount[2656]: lookup(ldap): query failed for (&(objectclass=automount)(cn=tibberi))
That would support the nisObject theory.
I suspect that he's on the right track. But his paper was written for OpenLDAP <-> OpenLDAP automounter.
It's a bit different with
OpneLDAP <-> iPlanet automounter.
There's just very little documentation on this.
I have LDAP working for login authentication, but the automounter is still elluding me. (and I haven't had time to work on it today.. been dealing with a backup issue...).
Hopefully I'll have more time to look at this on Monday (Friday is a short work day for me).

I just read that link. I'm not sure about the accuracy of his statement about "Sun and the rest of the world use the nisMap and nisObject schema and ou=auto_home instead of auto.home". It's too bad there isn't better
documentation for this.

Steve;
Thanks for the reply, and good luck to you too.
In my case, I'm trying to get RedHat 8.0 LDAP + automount (client), to work with a Solaris LDAP server.
I had automounter working with the old Solaris NIS server, but someone thought that was too easy, and changed it all over to LDAP.. So, I'm starting over. ;)
I'll check out the link you provided.
In addition, I found the following, which may shed some light...
So far, it hasn't helped mine, .. But I'm still working on it.

I'm about to start working with the same issue right now. I found some

My first step is to get the automounter to work with Irix clients and
I'm having some luck there (although the migrate scripts don't seem to
be setting up the ldif files correctly).
My next step is to test the automounter on RedHat clients.
FYI, we're having to change our "standardized" RedHat load here to use
autofs4 instead of the autofs that's included with RH. Issues we were
running into were a lack of support for multipath entries. Direct maps
are still an issue that we've worked around via some scripting.
Basically, getting a Linux client to behave like other Unix machines
wrt to autofs is a pain.
Let me know how autofs + LDAP works for you on Linux.

Does anyone here have any experience with getting automounter & LDAP playing together on Redhat ?
So far, LDAP is running fine, but I can't get the automounter to pick up.
Thanks!
