I am setting up a computing cluster, and have been tasked with setting up a NIS server and client environment. So far I have been successful on every front except for the NIS clients are not mounting the home directory.
I have been following the steps in [this article](https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E54669/html/ol7-s13-auth.html) , which has gotten me thus far. I am able to login to the NIS client properly, but when it gets there it throws me to a bash prompt and says
Could not chdir to home directory /nethome/cfduser: No such file or directory
. When I get to the bash prompt I can confirm that that /nethome
directory is there, but it is empty.
I am not sure where to go from here. I can supply whatever configuration files are needed and more if needed.
Both the client and server are running CentOS 7 b1804
Edit 1:
My /etc/auto.master
# Sample auto.master file
# This is a 'master' automounter map and it has the following format:
# mount-point [map-type[,format]:]map [options]
# For details of the format look at auto.master(5).
#
/misc /etc/auto.misc
#
# NOTE: mounts done from a hosts map will be mounted with the
# "nosuid" and "nodev" options unless the "suid" and "dev"
# options are explicitly given.
#
/net -hosts
#
# Include /etc/auto.master.d/*.autofs
# The included files must conform to the format of this file.
#
+dir:/etc/auto.master.d
#
# Include central master map if it can be found using
# nsswitch sources.
#
# Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as
# above) in the included master map any keys that are the
# same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes
# precedence.
#
+auto.master
/nethome /etc/auto.home
My /etc/auto.home
* -rw,sync 192.168.1.1:/nethome/&
