autofs + ldap

[jan <jan@seismo.ifg.ethz.ch>]

dear list,

I have a lot of problems with autofs-3.1.7-239 & openldap-2.1.8

on the nfs-automount-client I got the following config files :

/etc/auto.master
/home   ldap ldapserver:ou=auto.home,dc=aldi,dc=de

/etc/nsswitch.conf
automount: files

/etc/ldap.conf
host ldapserver
base dc=aldi,dc=de


cd /home/bert or when trying to log in
"Could not chdir to home directory /home/bert: No such file or directory"

I get this error message in /var/log/messages (still on the nfs-client)

Jan  6 08:32:18 automount[2594]: attempting to mount entry /home/bert
Jan  6 08:32:18 automount[15016]: lookup(ldap): got answer, but no first 
entry for (&(objectclass=automount)(cn=/))


slapd.log says :

nentries=0 !!???


---------------

/usr/local/openldap-2.1.8/bin/ldapsearch -b ou=auto.home,dc=aldi,dc=de 
-D cn=xxx,dc=aldi,dc=de -h ldapserver -W -x -ZZ -LLL 
'(&(objectclass=automount)(cn=/))'
Enter LDAP Password:

dn: cn=/,ou=auto.home,dc=aldi,dc=de
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
description: generic home directory
cn: /
automountInformation: -rw,soft nfsserver:/home/&


slapd.log says :
conn=1 op=2 SRCH base="ou=auto.home,dc=aldi,dc=de" scope=2 
filter="(&(objectClass=automount)(cn=/))"
<= bdb_equality_candidates: index_param failed (18)

nentries=1		so this is really OK !


standard autofs works fine. It is not my nfs-server which is doing all 
that mess.


What's wrong in this config ? Anyone knows ?



best regards,


Jan
