Re: no home-directory on diskless workstations



Hi Georg,

Tx for your advice.
I removed the client and recreated it with another ip, enabled dhcp, enabled dns and added it to nis-groups workstations and all-hosts.. Rebooted the workstation.

Still no luck. It does not mount the homedir..

I don't really know where to look next. Could it have anything to do with the /skole/tjener/home0 being mounted at the server from a nfs host? I dont think it should affect the exports from the chroot, but thats the only change Ive done with the homedir.

It works without a glitch when booting thin-clients from 192.168.1.0 network, and even when booting this workstation at the 10.0.0.0 network as a thinclient. But not when booting as a workstation.
I tried with another client also, but the same thing.
When going in to shell and looking at mtab I see a line like this;
tmpfs /home tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 00

thats the only reference to the home dir. If looking in to /skole/tjener it is empty. No home0
If looking in to /home it is also empty.

Hope someone has an idea  /George

it helped to assign a different IP to the diskless workstation in gosa. After
adding it again to the  nis-group workstation-hosts in Gosa2
/skole/tjener/home0 is mounted.
