Hi there. Note - cross-posted to autofs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I am putting the finishing touches on our AD/LDAP using autofs to mount home directories on a Red Hat 5 box. I have login authentication working great, using both traditional SSH authentication (Linux does authentication) and GSSAPI (passes Kerberos tickets directly) for single-sign-on. The problem is mounting the home directories. If this is the wrong list for this integration stuff let me know if you know of a better candidate. Here's my configuration: auto.master: /home_cifs /etc/auto.cifs --timeout=5 auto.cifs: * -fstype=cifs,sec=krb5,user=&,uid=&,gid=lgtr,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755 ://smb.domain.local/userdata/& /etc/request-key.conf: ... create cifs.spnego * * /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall %k create dns_resolver * * /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall %k /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac: #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass auth sufficient pam_krb5.so auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account sufficient pam_krb5.so account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so /etc/pam.d/sshd #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-auth account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so Every user has their unixHomeDirectory set to /home_cifs/<username> The mount doesn't seem to work on login but autofs is working. It works fine once logged in (most of the time but does fail sometimes as well) and I change the directory to the home: Dec 6 11:57:37 bilbo-rh5 cifs.upcall: key description: cifs.spnego;0;0;3f000000;ver=0x2;host=smb.domain.local;ip4=192.168.1.58; sec=mskrb5;uid=0x4e20;user=lguser Dec 6 11:57:37 bilbo-rh5 cifs.upcall: find_krb5_cc: considering /tmp/krb5cc_20000_BfIUPW5852 Dec 6 11:57:37 bilbo-rh5 cifs.upcall: find_krb5_cc: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_20000_BfIUPW5852 is valid ccache Dec 6 11:57:37 bilbo-rh5 cifs.upcall: handle_krb5_mech: getting service ticket for cifs/smb.domain.local Dec 6 11:57:37 bilbo-rh5 cifs.upcall: handle_krb5_mech: obtained service ticket Dec 6 11:57:37 bilbo-rh5 automount[5642]: mount(generic): mounted //smb.domain.local/userdata/lguser type cifs on /home_cifs/lguser Dec 6 11:57:37 bilbo-rh5 automount[5642]: mounted /home_cifs/lguser Klist shows this: 12/06/10 12:06:55 12/06/10 21:17:32 cifs/smb.domain.local@xxxxxxxxx renew until 12/06/10 22:06:55 Then I can login without problem until automount expires the mount.
