    Okay,

            Here is the scenario.... migrated NISPlus user data to LDAP...
    servers and some clients are Sol 9, no problems between these, a few hosts
    are Solaris 8, and they need to stay

    Solaris 8, I can login to these machines using LDAP Auth, but (and this a
    big one) the users NFS home directories dont come with them. So I get a No
    Directory! using / as home type

    message. I realized early on that Sol 8's LDAP client was funny after
    looking at the ldaplist output and comparing and reading on it ad nauseum, I
    proceeded to make a separate profile for

    Solaris 8, this got my boxes logging in.... The profile has mappings that
    should (in my opinion) allow the Sol8 to see the auto_home data... but when
    I do this an

    # ldaplist auto_home

    on Solaris 8 the output is:

    ldaplist: object not found

    on Solaris 9 it is:

    dn: auto-mountkey=xxxxxx, automountMapName=auto_home, dc=yyy, dc=zzz, dc=111
    .
    .
    .
    n

    so obviously something is wrong with the mapping in my profile...

    I am curious if anyone on the list has run into this problem and how they
    solved it in their Sol8 profile

    Thanks...

    --Jon
