RE : Re: RedHat8 and NIS login

[Vincent . Fortier1]

Every users that logs in automount it's /home/userXYZ from our local NFS fileserver ...   It's quite simple in fact.. you just need to have a /etc/auto.home or what ever.. in wich it's states: *       -rw     fileserv1.wul.qc.ec.gc.ca:/home/&   All the folders in /home will be automatically mounted when accessed.. if the users has the permissions for it. (it will be automounted anyway but the user might not be able to access a folder of another user.. depending of the permissions of the exported filesystem (with netgroups) or the permissions set on the folder itself..)   BTW.. is it possible to had multiple automount point.. I know it's quite easy to do on HP:             *   fileserv1.wul.qc.ec.gc.ca,fileserv1.wqb.qc.ec.gc.ca,fileserv1.wxk.qc.ec.gc.ca:/home/& but I just can't make it work on Linux.. anybody has any clues?   Note:  About the graphical login problem.. GDM needed to be restarted so it can take care of NIS users.. (on redhat 8).. So I simply restarted the system and everything responded like usual..   Note 2: I've also made a change in the GUI System Settings -> Authentification and added a check mark under Cache user information and enable NIS.. My server where already listed in the Configure NIS.. window   - vin     I have a question about what you said:   > access to my usual /home/MyNISAccount (automounted from my > fileserver)   Does that mean that you machine simply mounts all the NFS home shares to /home or when you say automounted do you have a way where only the users who are logged into a box have their home directories mounted?   I'm just curious, it sounds interesting if it can be done.   On Mon, 2002-10-07 at 16:26, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi there, > > I've installed redhat 8 from scratch on my test workstation and reconfigured > it using NIS like I usually did with redhat 7.x... > > When logged has root I can do an "su - MyNISAccount" in a shell and I'll be > able to access to my usual /home/MyNISAccount (automounted from my > fileserver) with the right UID and GID from my NIS passwd/group files. > > The problem is that I just can't login directly from the graphical login > interface? > > NIS seems to work well on the system since I can do a "ypcat passwd" without > any problems. > > Any clues?
