Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to get NIS/AutoFS/NFS working here on Centos5 VPSs but it's not working out. Per a thread dated August 2006, it said that AUTOFS hadn't been virtualized yet.

http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=tree&goto=4960&& amp; amp;srch=autofs#msg_4960

Has this issue been fixed?



Looking at the most current Centos5 kernel configuration, AutoFS4 *is* a module and autofs works fine in the machine VPS (VPS#0).

. . .
# CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=m
. . .
--

The machine is running the current OpenVZ kernel, fully patched, etc.



When I start a VPS and autofs starts up, I see:
--

When a remote user tries to log into a VPS, the authetication (NIS) works but they can't get into their homedir:

The OpenVZ configuration is fairly basic:

1. I'm using the posted Centos5 i686 "default" template to run three VPSs

2. My VPS configuration is pretty basic. The only thing that might be a little advanced is the hardware node has (4)NICs. eth0 is for the management network and the remaining three are
mapped directly into a VPS for dedicated use. Everything is fine as the VPSs can "ypcat" the various NIS maps, SSH around, etc. It's just

Thoughts?
