Hello,

I am way out of my depth, and I am trying to get all of my nodes on a cluster to mount a drive on my head node.

I've got /etc/auto_master and /etc/auto_afp configured according to Apple's "Autofs: Automatically Mounting Network File Shares in Mac OS X" White Paper:

/etc/auto_master

+auto_master            # Use directory service
/net                    -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home                   auto_home       -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers        -fstab
/-                      -static
/-                      auto_afp

/etc/auto_afp

/Volumes/userA  -fstype=afp afp://userA:[email protected]:/
/Volumes/userB  -fstype=afp afp://userB:[email protected]:/

I am logged into a compute-node as userA. automount appears to mount both /Volumes/userA and /Volumes/userB to head-node.local:/Users/userA/Documents/ even though I have usernames, passwords, and user-directory specified in the afp url. If I go and login with Finder - it mounts userB appropriately.

File sharing and cd/dvd sharing is enabled on all computers involved.

Am I doing the right thing, and if so, what did I do wrong?

-Stephen
