NFS home and Active Directory authentication malfunction
I am trying to setup a network of Ubuntu 7.10 (Linux Ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux) machines in a predominantly Windows environment. So we decided to have Active Directory authentication. Another objective is to make the machines user independent (so that users can sit on any of the Linux machines and access the same home directory). In order to achieve this we decided to use an NFS server to work as home directory for all the users.
We followed ActiveDirectory
Next we setup the server for NFS. The server is Edubuntu 7.10 - since we need this machine to act as a LTSP server for some other users as well. The NFS sharing has been done in the usual NFS3 manner:
/etc/exports has the entry:
/home/domain <iprange>
And on the client side the /etc/fstab reads:
server:/home/domain /home/domain defaults 0 0
The mounting happens correctly, with no issues. However, two things happen:
(a) Not all domain users succeed in logging into the clients. Some get an error of .dmrc ownership etc. while others can login correctly. However, if the users who cannot login on the clients can correctly log into the server directly without any .dmrc or home directory ownership errors.
(b) On checking the directory listing of the /home/domain on the client, the home directory of the users who cannot login, appears to be owned by some strange user names like "krbtgt, iuser_002, administrator". But the same directory listing on the server shows correct ownership.
Can someone guide me?
