Can anyone help me with migrating autofs to ldap? To test, I added this line to /etc/auto.master: /test ldap:rpppc1.md.hns.com:ou=auto.test,dc=adg,dc=hns,dc=com Here is the corresponding ldif: dn: nisMapName=auto.test,dc=adg,dc=hns,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisMap nisMapName: auto.test dn: cn=test,nisMapName=auto.test,dc=adg,dc=hns,dc=com objectClass: nisObject cn: test nisMapEntry: rpppc1.md.hns.com:/disk1/test nisMapName: auto.test If I do /sbin/service autofs reload, I get: Mar 18 09:19:40 rpppc1 automount[19312]: starting automounter version 4.1.0, path = /test, maptype = ldap, mapname = rpppc1.md.hns.com:ou=auto.test,dc=adg,dc=hns,dc=com Mar 18 09:19:40 rpppc1 automount[19312]: using kernel protocol version 4.00 Mar 18 09:19:40 rpppc1 automount[19312]: using timeout 300 seconds; freq 75 secs Mar 18 09:19:40 rpppc1 automount[19312]: lookup(ldap): query failed for (&(objectclass=nisObject)) Mar 18 09:19:40 rpppc1 automount[19312]: lookup(ldap): query failed for (&(objectclass=automount)) Mar 18 09:19:40 rpppc1 automount[19312]: failed to load map, exiting Mar 18 09:19:40 rpppc1 automount[19312]: failed to remove dir @ $(J`S (BI - §f: No such file or directory -A (Yes, the garbage characters are there in the log)
