[Gllug] LDAP and automounter

[Xander D Harkness]

I am familiar with the configuration to set up an automounter to request 
information against the LDAP server.

I am configuring an automounter for an International firm that do not 
want all of the automounts visible in every location.  I could do it 
with difference suffixes at each location, eg. 
ou=paris,dc=example,dc=co,dc=uk; however as the staff move about 
occasionally the staff need to be able to mount the correct drives when 
they log in.

They currently use an Active Directory Tree, where they specify the 
mounts per person.  I see this as quite wasteful as there is a lot of 
work to set it up and to manage this.  It does have the advantage that 
you can specify the mounts per person.

It almost seems like they want to store a list of mounts in the user's 
LDAP object and just have those mounted at login time.

Has any one encountered anything similar or is there a different way to 
approach this?

Kind regards
Xander
