behaviour)<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>We've set up a new dual k12ltsp
system (serv01 and serv02) which authenticate back to an LDAP server that
contains all home folders.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A client starts up and randomly chooses the next
available terminal server. When this happens, the user logs on to the
system, the home folders are 'copied' across to the new server, and normal
session login occurs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have ONE USER (that's the odd behaviour) that
can log on to serv01 but not serv02. When she logs into serv01, the home
folder is created in the /home directory of serv01, and everything 'works
normally.' When she tries to log into serv02 in the exact manner (with
same username/password, session type, etc), she gets the message</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your home directory is listed as:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'/home/<USERNAME>'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but it does not appear to exist. Do you want to
log in with the /</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(root) directory as your home
directory</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And she can't log in (no copying of the /home
folders from the LDAP server to serv02/home occurs)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas of what's gone wrong for this one user,
and where to look for a fix?</FONT></DIV>
