SIMULATION -

Configure autofs.

Configure the autofs automatically mount to the home directory of LDAP, as required: server.domain11.example.com use NFS to share the home to your system. This file system contains a pre configured home directory of user ldapuserX.

Home directory of ldapuserX is:

server.domain11.example.com /home/guests/ldapuser

Home directory of ldapuserX should automatically mount to the ldapuserX of the local /home/guests Home directory's write permissions must be available for users ldapuser1's password is password

Show Answer
Correct Answer:

To configure autofs to automatically mount the home directory for ldapuserX from the NFS server, follow these steps: 1. Install autofs: `yum install -y autofs`. 2. Edit the auto.master file to specify the mount point and the map file: `vi /etc/auto.master`, then add `/home/guests /etc/auto.ldap`. 3. Create the map file for autofs: `vi /etc/auto.ldap` and add a line for the user ldapuserX: `ldapuserX -fstype=nfs,rw server.domain11.example.com:/home/guests/ldapuserX`. 4. Start and enable the autofs service: `systemctl start autofs`, `systemctl enable autofs`. This setup ensures that the home directory of ldapuserX from the NFS server is automatically mounted to the specified local directory, with write permissions available.

vi /etc/auto.master add "/home/guests /etc/auto.ldap vi /etc/auto.ldap add "ldapuserX server.domain11.example.com:/home/guests/ldapuserX" #No need to specify -fstype since it was NFS, see 'man autofs'
