  • su: warning: cannot change directory to /ldapuser/home/user2: No such file or directory

    Posted on

    Hi I tried configuring autofs in both RHEL 7 & 7.2 on the client for ldap user with NFS home directory, but unable to mount the home dir neither with ssh / su

    Please suggest

    [root@ldapclient~]# su - user2
    su: warning: cannot change directory to /ldapuser/home/user2: No such file or directory
    mkdir: cannot create directory '/ldapuser': Permission denied
    -bash-4.2$

    -bash-4.2$ id
    uid=3002(user2) gid=3002(user2) groups=3002(user2) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

    -bash-4.2$ cat /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)

    [root@ldapclient~]# getent passwd user2
    user2:*:3002:3002:user2:/ldapuser/home/user2:/bin/bash

    [root@ldapclient~]# cat /etc/auto.master.d/home.autofs
    /home /etc/auto.home

    [root@r7nyknode ~]# cat /etc/auto.home
    * -fstype=nfs,rw,sync ldapnfsserver.example.net:/ldapuser/home/&

    =============================
    LDAP + NFS Server
    [root@server1~]# exportfs -v
    /ldapuser/home 192.168.7.0/24(rw,wdelay,root_squash,no_subtree_check,sec=sys,rw,secure,root_squash,no_all_squash)
