There are no sym links in the first level of the home dir. Permissions for server /home are drwxr-xr-x (I have tried drwxrwxrwx also)
I can login on the clients from the command line. when I do this I get: No directory /home/username! /* obviously, as it won't mount */ Logging in with home="/". shell$ So that part of NIS seems to be OK. Maybe I should take my configuration files off the machine and blow it away and start again. rgds, Nick > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf >Of Karl Bowden >Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 10:00 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [SLUG] Permission denied when automounting /home > >Out of curiosity what are the permissions on the home directory, and do >you >have any sym links in the first level of the home dir? > > > > > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > A simplification of my NIS problems: > > > > Whenever I try to mount the servers /home directory on a client >machine > > (either manually or by automounting at startup) I get 'permission >denied' > > from the server.
