[Fedora-directory-users] automount (revisited)

[Roger Spencer]

I dug the below out from the archive.  Is there anything new on the subject?

I've seemed to have slammed head first into the subject.  Got SUSE and 
RHEL 3 using nisObjects happily (apparently they'll support either 
model).  Just configured a Solaris 10 box as a client and it wants 
automountMap.  Even worse, Solaris 9 and 10 do automountMap, Solaris 8 
does nisObjects.  Fortunately, I have all three versions running.  (Info 
on Solaris' automount: 
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=31550&seqNum=4&rl=1 )

I tried loading the 10rfc2307bis.ldif (by replacing the 10rfc2307.ldif 
file) and slapd wouldn't restart. 

Any idea to a) get the automountMap objects in the schema?  b) possibly 
support both models?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
There has been a lot of confusion around this issue (mostly on my part). 
I think one of the problems is that rfc2307 support from OS vendors is 
now deprecated in favor of rfc2307bis 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-howard-rfc2307bis-01.txt, 
which is still in Internet Draft phase (and is due to expire very 
quickly). A new draft is being worked on with the goal of generating a 
new RFC. The bis draft has one problem with it, in that it requires the 
use of the authPassword attribute (defined in RFC 3112 
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3112.txt). FDS does not support this (and 
neither does OpenLDAP AFAICT). I have attached a file called 
10rfc2307bis.ldif. This is the schema from the 2307bis I-D in FDS schema 
format.

The preferred way to map the automount information is to use the 
automount attributes and objectclasses in the RFC 2307bis draft schema. 
The problem is that I don't know all of the vendor support. So far I've 
been unable to find out what RHEL3 and RHEL4 support. I've been told 
that Solaris has support for the bis schema.

If you like, you can replace the 10rfc2307.ldif schema supplied with FDS 
with the attached file, and see what happens.
