Hi Aaron,
No the Directory /home is not RW, just the user dirs within it. I use
autofs to mount/umount the dirs as needed. The entry looks like this
* -soft,intr,nodev,tcp,rw server.domain.com:/home/&

Just wondering, do the nfs clients have write permissions to the nfs
mount point?

Subject: [Fedora-directory-users] FDS and Automatic home dir creation
Hi All,
I just found out about the fantastic pam_mkhomedir.so pam module. I
have it working somewhat, I just need to know if what I want to do is
possible.
Here's my setup:
FC4 with Fedora Directory Server 1.04 and is also the NFS /home share.
On this server I have in the /etc/pam.d/system-auth file the following
entry
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel
umask=0077
Then I have client machines that use FDS and the /home NFS share to
provide central login and /home dir capabilities.
The /home dir itself is NFS export RO and only the user dirs are RW
within it.
Using ldap (hostobject, pam_check_host_attr) attributes, I do not let
users login to the FDS /home share server, just the clients.
I want to know it it is possible that the first time a user logs into
one of the clients that it can somehow be passed to the /home dir server
to create the users home dir.
I have it working with test users currently, but ONLY when they are
allowed to login into the /home dir server, not any of the clients.
Any help, suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Brian
