Hi All,
Sorry for the top post but I wanted to put the solution first...
It turns out that I need to lay off the crack pipe a little bit. As
soon as I added --ghost to the correct place everything started working
fine. This was a little frustrating as everything that I found on the
Net seemed to indicate that the --ghost option goes in the wrong place.
Example: I WAS trying combinations of this, which doesn't work.
dn: cn=internal,ou=auto.software,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com
cn: internal
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: -soft,intr,nodev,tcp,ro nfs.example.com:/var/qa
--ghost
It works just fine when you add it here:
dn: cn=/software,ou=auto.master,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: automount
cn: /software
automountInformation:
ldap:qapxe.qa.mxlogic.com:ou=auto.software,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com
--ghost
I apologize for wasting everyones time,
Apologize!? Heck, thanks for tracking this down!
Do you know if this works without the ldap syntax in
automountInformation? E.g. can you use just:
automountInformation: auto.software --ghost
cheers
