i have set up and account using ldapv3 which i am able to log into on any client but it cann't find the home directory located on the server.

i have configured the account to automount the home directory and have specified a directory on the server but still no luck.

i think it may be related to another porblem i am having which is as follows. my xserve consists of 3 160gb harddisk. 1 for OS x, 2 for accounts and 3 for backup via retrospect. when i log into my server it report that there are volumes that os x can't read. if i remove the data drives then i don't get the problem so there is something on these drives that os xserver doesn't like? wrong disk format maybe?. i can browse them fine.

Do you have "Directory Access" configured properly on the client?

i'm not sure

i deselected netinfo and ldapv2. i configured ldapv3 to my server address and told it to get info from the server but i left the 'search base' blank. i didn't know what to enter for this but anything i did enter stopped the user from loggin on completly and only leaving it blanked allow it me to log on.

i created a custom path for ldapv3 in authentication and contacts then rebooted.

on the server i created the user account in the domain of ldapv3
