Just in case this is useful.. You can use NIS to include automounted home directories and override the home directory for a particular user, but it might require 'compat mode'. $ grep passwd /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: compat #passwd: files nis #might work, test in your environment $ tail -3 /etc/passwd lyoke:x:1000:1000:Local Yokel,,,:/home/lyoke:/bin/bash +cnsit:::::/local/home/cnsit: +: Those three lines do the following: * a normal local account with local home dir (for comparison to the other lines I am showing) * override (only) the home dir for NIS user cnsit * allow any other NIS user to login and get the home directory specified in the NIS passwd map. This may also work with an LDAP NSS source, haven't tried. Cheers Vince -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in
