Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, As Sun's workstation quality drops shamefully and commodity PC parts seem to be getting better, I've been tasked with integrating things like FreeBSD and Linux into our development and test environments here. We're still mostly Sun-based and must continue to support old BSD Sun systems, hence the need to stay with the old yp (not NIS+) and v2 nfs, etc. The sticking point for me is the automounter. The Linux setup seems to integrate easily into our environment and home directories show up where they're expected, but I can't seem to pull it off with FreeBSD as user directories aren't showing up where the yp maps tell them to. I.E. you have to cd to /host/netapp/home/{user} to get to home directories in FreeBSD, whereas with the normal Sun and Linux stuff, things show up in /us/{user} as expected by yp. I followed the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook for this yp and amd stuff, read man pages, etc, and had success with the yp part, but can't get amd right and have now spent too much time. So basically my adoption of FreeBSD is threatened.. I can provide more detail if you contact me. Please advise. Here's an example passwd map entry: rnedved:{censored}:4529:211:Rudy Nedved:/us/rnedved:/bin/csh unfortunately, his home directory isn't automounted and so he's at root upon login and must cd to /host/{netapp}/home/rnedved to see files on FreeBSD. thanks in advance.
