At least it works for a Redhat Enterprise 4.4 client. I have not yet tested it on a solaris client (and I am sure it won't work for them). So you need to add the scheme that Georges pointed out in the link above: http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:Automount You save it as an .ldif file, but you can't import it via the console. I added it to the /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-*/config/schema directory with a suitable high number like 90. This now gives you the appropriate objects. Here are some ldif files that allow a client to find auto.master and auto.home. dn: automountmapname=auto_master,dc=mydom,dc=com automountInformation: ldap:myldap.host.com:automountmapname=auto_home,dc=mydom,dc=com --timeout=120 automountKey: /home automountMapName: auto_master objectClass: top objectClass: automount objectClass: automountmap dn: automountmapname=auto_home,dc=mydom,dc=com automountMapName: auto_home objectClass: top objectClass: automountmap objectClass: automount automountKey: * automountInformation: -fstype=nfs,rw,hard,intr,nosuid myfileserver.com:/export/home/& Note that in /etc/nsswitch.conf you should have automount: files ldap and have the ldap server correctly setup in /etc/ldap.conf Note that in /etc/sysconfig/autofs is an option to use auto_master and auto.master interchangably. Hope this helps some other newbie. Andy
