LDAP automount maps

Hello.

Recently I've been setting up a LDAP server for single sign-on in a small network of computers (4).

The LDAP server is in place and authentication works smoothly, but I'd like to add automount in this fashion:

 

two directories for generic, non-user specific items, under the directory /common

 

/common/files (on server: /home/files)

/common/data (on server: /home/data)

 

In this case, when an user cd /common/files (with /common directory present on the local machine), the files directory would be automatically mounted over NFS.

Then, there are user-specific directories on the server (not home dirs, more like personal storage dirs - seldon is the server's name):

 

/home/seldon/<username> (on server: /home/<username>)

 

I've tried reading around and there's nothing very clear to configure the LDAP server, and how to configure the exports (I didn't understand well what man exports said).

Anyone willing to shed some light on the subject? Thanks.
