How do you fetch your users from ldap, using sssd? Or nss_ldap? Or something else? Does that need authentication, or are anonymous searches allowed?
Does the mount()ing work if you temporarily create the user locally in /etc/{passwd,group,shadow} but not his/her home directory? This bug is a bit broad in its current state, it would help if you could narrow it down a bit. ** Changed in: autofs (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to autofs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728055 Title: GDM3 hangs, if local home directory is not accessible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/1728055/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
