[K12OSN] mounting home directories

[Burt Carter]

I have been working on this problem all day and am still having trouble
mounting the user's home directory from the NW 6 server.  Does anyone
have any suggestions?

Subject: [K12OSN] mounting home directories

I have installed ncpfs and the pam_auth module.  After I set everything
up following the directions given here, I was unable to authenticate. I
left and came back about 30mins later and it worked?? Is this normal? It
appears to be working now with the following exceptions.  When users
login I get the  following output from /var/log/secure:

"user student.hsms.boe had trouble mounting hsms-home/user on
/home/student/nwhome"

The student home directory on the Novell 6 server is actually: 
"hsms-home/user/hs/students/student"

It appears to be attempting to mount the wrong directory to home and
fails to mount.  
I was unable to follow the last step(step 4) in the K12LTSP howtoz.net
document because /usr/bin/ncpumount and /usr/bin/ncpmount did not exist.
THe link I created in /usr/local/bin/ is broken due to this.  Could this
be causing the problem?

Also, I see the following error in the /var/log/secure output
occasionally: 
"WaitPid: Fatal: no child process"

Thanks,
Burt Carter
