Hm, would I need a SEARCH_BASE entry for each department or would it be enough to have one with OU=myplace,OU=mydivision,DC=mycompany,DC=com only? All I want to have is home directory mappings for users from different departments like this: /home/user1 (from depatment 1) mapped to server1.mycompany.com:/storage/home/user1 /home/user2 (from depatment 1) mapped to server2.mycompany.com:/storage/home/user2 The different subtrees in ldap are for organizational purposes only (writable by admin1, admin2, ..) but should work the same as far as autofs is concerned. This worked fine with both user entries in one hierachy of ldap but currently does not work with if I separate them by OU=department1/OU=department2. Here is what all my ldap entries (currently only for two test users: user1 from department1 and user2 from department2) look like: dn: CN=auto.master,OU=autofs,OU=department1,OU=myplace,OU=mydivision,DC=mycompany,DC=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisMap cn: auto.master name: auto.master nisMapName: auto.master dn: CN=auto.home,OU=autofs,OU=department1,OU=myplace,OU=mydivision,DC=mycompany,DC=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisMap cn: auto.home name: auto.home nisMapName: auto.home dn: CN=auto.master,OU=autofs,OU=department2,OU=myplace,OU=mydivision,DC=mycompany,DC=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisMap cn: auto.master name: auto.master nisMapName: auto.master dn: CN=auto.home,OU=autofs,OU=department2,OU=myplace,OU=mydivision,DC=mycompany,DC=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisMap cn: auto.home name: auto.home nisMapName: auto.home dn: CN=/home,CN=auto.master,OU=autofs,OU=department1,OU=myplace,OU=mydivision,DC=mycompany,DC=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisObject cn: /home name: /home nisMapEntry: auto.home nisMapName: auto.master dn: CN=user1,CN=auto.home,OU=autofs,OU=department1,OU=myplace,OU=mydivision,DC=mycompany,DC=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisObject cn: user1 name: user1 nisMapEntry: -fstype=nfs4,sec=krb5 server1.mycompany.com:/storage/home/user1 nisMapName: auto.home dn: CN=/home,CN=auto.master,OU=autofs,OU=department2,OU=myplace,OU=mydivision,DC=mycompany,DC=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisObject cn: /home name: /home nisMapEntry: auto.home nisMapName: auto.master dn: CN=user2,CN=auto.home,OU=autofs,OU=department2,OU=myplace,OU=mydivision,DC=mycompany,DC=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisObject cn: user2 name: user2 nisMapEntry: -fstype=nfs4,sec=krb5 server2.mycompany.com:/storage/home/user2 nisMapName: auto.home > No idea, could be a problem with the lookup, can't tell without more > information. What else do you need? More Output from "automount -f -v -d"? Regards Sven P.S.: Regarding the Version. Looks like Debian applied a couple of minor patches to vanilla autofs 5.0.7, but none of them seems to be ldap related. -- "I'm a bastard, and proud of it" (Linus Torvalds, Wednesday Sep 6, 2000) /me is giggls@ircnet, http://sven.gegg.us/ on the Web -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
