Error NFS mount home directory

Hello All,

I have a question that I think I have the answer to but I'm not sure. All the information I get kind of dance around it. Well, my question is if you have NFS running, automount running, with auto_master and auto_home on a server. If a user logs in form cleint machine that has auto_home running will it mount the user home dir locate donthe server? Note not running NIS or NIS+ and the client machine does not have user in the passwd or shadow file. All the material I have read states that this can be done, but I don't know if they are referring to the fact that you need NIS of NIS+ running. This is for a Solaris 8 OS. I geuss the missing part for me is if it is possible how does it authenicate the user. THANKSSmilie

nfsconfig(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      nfsconfig(8)

NAME
nfsconfig - Launches the SysMan Menu at the Network File System Configuration (NFS) level, where you can configure a system as an NFS server or as an NFS client SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nfsconfig /usr/sbin/sysman nfs DESCRIPTION
The NFS Configuration section of SysMan Menu is used by the System Administrator or the UNIX system manager to manage NFS configuration issues. It allows the system to be configured as an NFS server (to make its file systems available to remote machines), or as an NFS client (to mount remote file systems). Before using nfsconfig, be sure to configure Network Interfaces using the Network Configuration section of the SysMan menu. You can configure your system as an NFS Server, an NFS Client, or both. However, if the Network Interfaces are down, the following daemons will not start: nfsd, pcnfsd, proplistd, mountd, and automountd. Use nfsconfig to do the following: Manage the configuration of the system as an NFS server. You can only configure your system as an NFS server if the NFS Server option is built into the kernel. Manage the configuration of the system as client-only system Specify file sys- tems to be mounted or exported Start and stop the NFS daemons Online Help: Online help is available for the NFS dialog boxes. You can get help by selecting the Help button on any dialog box. RESTRICTIONS
You must be root or have the appropriate privileges to run this application. FILES
