Hi Georg, Tx for your advice. I removed the client and recreated it with another ip, enabled dhcp, enabled dns and added it to nis-groups workstations and all-hosts.. Rebooted the workstation.
Still no luck. It does not mount the homedir.. I don't really know where to look next. Could it have anything to do with the /skole/tjener/home0 being mounted at the server from a nfs host? I dont think it should affect the exports from the chroot, but thats the only change Ive done with the homedir. It works without a glitch when booting thin-clients from 192.168.1.0 network, and even when booting this workstation at the 10.0.0.0 network as a thinclient. But not when booting as a workstation. I tried with another client also, but the same thing. When going in to shell and looking at mtab I see a line like this; tmpfs /home tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 00 thats the only reference to the home dir. If looking in to /skole/tjener it is empty. No home0 If looking in to /home it is also empty. Hope someone has an idea /George --- Den fre 2012-05-04 skrev Georg Damm <georg.d...@web.de>: Från: Georg Damm <georg.d...@web.de> Ämne: Re: no home-directory on diskless workstations [SOLVED] Till: debian-edu@lists.debian.org Datum: fredag 4 maj 2012 23:34 Hi, > Sorry if I hijack your thread.

If so, does it work for you? (So I can exlcude that from the > list of probable causes..) it helped to assign a different IP to the diskless workstation in gosa. After adding it again to the nis-group workstation-hosts in Gosa2 /skole/tjener/home0 is mounted.
