Hi, This is not technically FDS, but it pertains to some of the earlier discussions about FDS/Sun interoperability. A few weeks ago I have succesfully configured a Solaris 9 box to authenticate against FDS and use the auto_home entries stored there. Now that I revisit my setup, the auto_home part does not work: bash-2.05$ sudo ldaplist -l auto_home ldaplist: LDAP configuration problem (Unable to load configuration '/var/ldap/ldap_client_file' ('').) The message log is not helpful: Sep 19 16:41:16 merman ldaplist[314]: [ID 293258 user.error] libsldap: Status: 2 Mesg: Unable to load configuration '/var/ldap/ldap_client_file' (''). I'm using the same ldap_client_file that I did before: NS_LDAP_FILE_VERSION= 2.0 NS_LDAP_SERVERS= server.cshl.edu NS_LDAP_SEARCH_BASEDN= dc=cshl,dc=edu NS_LDAP_AUTH= none NS_LDAP_SEARCH_REF= FALSE NS_LDAP_SEARCH_SCOPE= one NS_LDAP_SEARCH_TIME= 30 NS_LDAP_CACHETTL= 3600 NS_LDAP_PROFILE= tls_automount_profile NS_LDAP_CREDENTIAL_LEVEL= proxy NS_LDAP_SERVICE_SEARCH_DESC= passwd: ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu?one NS_LDAP_SERVICE_SEARCH_DESC= group: ou=group,dc=cshl,dc=edu?one NS_LDAP_SERVICE_SEARCH_DESC= shadow: ou=People,dc=cshl,dc=edu?one NS_LDAP_SERVICE_SEARCH_DESC= netgroup: ou=Netgroup,dc=cshl,dc=edu?one NS_LDAP_SERVICE_SEARCH_DESC= auto.home: ou=auto.home,dc=cshl,dc=edu?one NS_LDAP_BIND_TIME= 10 NS_LDAP_ATTRIBUTEMAP= automount: automountInformation=nisMapEntry NS_LDAP_ATTRIBUTEMAP= automount: automountKey=cn NS_LDAP_ATTRIBUTEMAP= automount: automountMapName=nisMapName NS_LDAP_OBJECTCLASSMAP= automount: AUTOMount=nisObject NS_LDAP_OBJECTCLASSMAP= automount: automountMap=nisMap Does anybody know what's going on?
