[Freeipa-users] Auto-Mount Home Directory for Local Users?

[Elijah Elliott]

In /etc/auto_home add a line above +auto_home that reads

  /home/local -rw localhost:/export/home/local

Then create the directory in /export/home, chown it properly, and you should be good.

If you have any issues its probably syntax, I am fairly certain you need -rw on linux but that would not be the auto mount line for Solaris.

A couple of things to check (you probably have done this thought)...

- Make sure the entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf reads:

automount:  files sss

- Also, do you have a "local" account entry in /etc/passwd?  That may confuse things...

I have successfully configured FreeIPA to auto-mount the home directory
for FreeIPA users.  But on those occasions when I need to login as the
local administrator I can not get a home directory:

[root at host ~]# ssh local at fedora19
local at fedora19's password:
Could not chdir to home directory /home/local: No such file or directory
-bash-4.2$ logout
Connection to fedora19 closed.
[root at host ~]#

where local is a member of the wheel group. Where do I start?
