Last login: Mon Mar 8 18:17:52 on ttys011 It looks as though OS X is trying to do something else to the user home directories mount point when you log in through the GUI.įor example, on this machine (nv001), I (hugh) am logged into the GUI. However, if a user tries to SSH into a machine that they are not the primary user on, they often have no access to their own home directory. This work fine on the Linux workstations, but there is some weirdness under OS X.įor the user who is logged in through the GUI, it all works just fine. This is mounted on the workstations to: /mount/company_users

On the server end, the home directories are stored in: /Volumes/data/company_users To ensure that the Linux and OS X workstations both see user's home directories in the same place, I shared the home directories using NFS. The majority of our workstations are OS X, but there are a few running Linux (Centos 5.3), and, as time goes on, we expect the proportion of Linux workstations to increase (at some point, we expect to move the server side over to Linux too, but for now we're running with what we've already got) Our server is an XServe, using Open Directory to manage the user accounts. I've run into some problems with how I've got user home directories set up on our system here.
