Not sure how you leaned restarting autofs helps. When the user complains about can't log in, can you do SSH to the user's workstation and run df or mount commands to see if the user's home directory is still mounted? Also check perms on the user's home directory at the same time. Try doing su - username and see if that works. Try ssh username@workstation and have user type the password and see if that works for user. I had seen similar problem when we were using nis/nis+ and user would lock their PC running gnome on RHEL 5 and when they came back and put their password the gnome screensaver would not authenticate successfully. I killed the gnome-screensaver process for those users after doing SSH to the box and the user would get to see their session immediately. May not be the same problem in your case but autofs wasn't the problem then. This reply may not really help to resolve but may be you can try things I suggested above or let us know if you already tried those. One more thing you can do is enable debugging for autofs either in auto.master or by configuring sysconfig/autofs file Thanks -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
