    Hi,

    Thanks to the help I got in this list my LDAP authentication now works
    properly
    However I have come across another problem

    Is there a idiots guide to setting up Gnome to use auto mounted home
    directories

    The situation is this

    3 test client machines authenticate with a LDAP server
    On this server are the home directories

    Users log into the client, get authenticated by the LDAP server and autofs
    mounts their home directories that are on the same server

    Everything works fine providing a user doesn't log on to two machines at
    the same time
    If they log on to two machines at the same time the second machine to
    log on won't logout. After about 10 attempts and about 10 minutes later
    it would let the user log out. Apart from that everyting seem to work fine

    I added the ORBIIOPIPv4=1 in /etc/orbitrc and I'm pretty sure I have nfs
    locking working OK

    Thanks

    mal
