I didn't know that thanks - in reality, that couldn't work for me
without a lot of changes since the users $HOME directory is set by LDAP
and it would have to necessarily have to be in the /home tree (or I'm
doing a whole bunch of changes).

The exercise wasn't really to use autofs as indicated but to use autofs
via ldap and I just wanted an intermediate step to learn how it works.

Thanks

Now, if someone really wants to help, I've been pursuing the LDAP angle
on tikanga-list since the LDAP server is RHEL (clients are primarily
Fedora 7, still trying to work out regression issues in Fedora 8)...

https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-list/2007-November/msg00171.html

which suggests that there is an ou called automountMapName but I cannot
locate it in the autofs.schema (or any schema), can't create the dn as
the documentation suggests in

https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/en-US/RHEL510/Deployment_Guide/s2-nfs-config-autofs-LDAP.html

# grep -r automountMap /etc/openldap/schema/*
/etc/openldap/schema/redhat/autofs.schema:objectclass
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.2312.4.2.2 NAME 'automountMap' SUP top STRUCTURAL

# grep -ir automountMapName /etc/openldap/schema/*
#

I can see in
/usr/share/doc/autofs-5.0.1/ldap-automount-rfc2307-bis-auto.master
that the entry is there but I can't find any schema support for creating
entries with a dn that begins

automountMapName= anything
