Apple Mac OS X Server (version 10.2.3 or later) - Manual (Page 158)

158 Chapter 3
Use Workgroup Manager to enable guest access for the share point. Click the Protocols tab
and make sure that “Apple File Settings, ” “Share this item using AFP,” and “Allow AFP guest
access” are selected.
6 Define the share point’s automounting settings.
Click the Automount tab.
On the pop-up menu, select the shared domain in which the user’s record resides, then click
the lock to log in as domain administrator.
Select “Automount this item to clients in domain.”
Select “Mount dynamically in /Network/Servers/ ” and “Use AFP.” Click Save.
7 Click Accounts, then select the user in the user list.
8 Click the Home tab, then select Network.
9 Select an AFP share point from the list, which displays all the automountable network-visible
share points in the search path of the server you are connected to. Then click Save.
10 Make sure that the user restarts his or her client computer so that the share point is visible
on it.
The home directory is created immediately under the share point when
m The user restarts the client computer and logs in remotely.
m The server administrator runs the createhomedir command-line tool. (See “Using
createhomedir to Create Home Directories” on page 165 for details.)
The home directory name is the same as the short name of the user (the user’s first short
name if there are multiple short names).
Note that when the user logs in using SSH to obtain command-line access to the server, the
user’s home directory isn’t mounted, and the user has only guest access to it.
If you want more control over where the user’s home directory resides within a share point
or what it is named, use the Advanced option on the Home tab. See “Defining an Advanced
Home Directory for NFS Access” on page 163 for instructions.
Defining a Network Home Directory for NFS Access
Although AFP is the preferred protocol for accessing home directories because of the
security it offers, you can use Workgroup Manager to set up network NFS home directories
for users defined in shared directory domains. The home directories reside immediately
under an automountable NFS share point.
You can use Workgroup Manager to define a network home directory for a user whose
account is stored in a NetInfo or LDAPv3 directory domain or to review home directory
information in any directory domain accessible from the server you are using.
