Assuming the auto_master and auto_home are OK, make sure the client hosts are included in the /etc/dfs/dfstab entry on the server. &nbsp;See man share or the above file itself for more information.<br />
<br />
You can test that all the sharing and host information is working by doing as Sun suggests and try a hard mount. &nbsp;If that won't work, there's no way an automount will!<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

I have been seeing this problem on couple of our NIS+ Solaris client machines. The user home directories are on our file server and using automount on the client side, users log in to their home directories from SUN NIS+ clients.The permissions and automount files (auto_master, auto_home) are setup correctly. The same users can log on to other NIS+ clients with identical auto_master &amp;&nbsp;auto_home directories. <br />
I had open a sun service request on this and after going through different trouble shooting procedure they suggested that I do a hard mount to home directories!!! What is then the use of NIS+...<br />

I hope to get a fix to this problem from this site.<br />
