Thread: Nis and nfs+automount

Hello everybody,

I’am new to Linux and i am studying for certification, i need your help to answer this question



Bind to the NIS domain BOSTONprovided by 192.168.24.250 for user authentication. Note the following:
nisuserx should be able to log into your system, where x is your station number, but will not have
a home directory until you have completed the autofs requirement below
All NIS users have a password of password

Configure autofs to automount the home directories of NIS users. Note the following:
server1.example.com (192.168.24.250) NFS-exports /rhome/stationx to your system, where
x is your station number

nisuserx’s home directory is server1.example.com:/rhome/stationx/nisuserx
nisuserx’s home directory should be automounted locally beneath /rhome as /rhome/nisuserx
home directories must be writable by their users

While you are able to log in as any of the users nisuser1 through nisuser20, the only home
directory that is accessible from your system is nisuserx.

Example: station10 would con_gure the automounter such that nisuser10’s home directory
/rhome/nisuser10 gets mounted automatically upon login. The NFS share would be
server1.example.com:/rhome/station10/nisuser10.


Thanks for your answer.
