MacOS – Automount NFS shared home directories and other shares

autofsautomountmacos

I have a problem with autofs on mac. I made some shares:

auto_home:

*   -fstype=nfs,rw  roskilde:/space/home/&

auto_remote:

public  -fstype=nfs,rw  roskilde:/space/public
mosek   -fstype=nfs,rw  roskilde:/space/mosek
vmware  -fstype=nfs,rw  roskilde:/space/vmware

auto_master:

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

so the problem is this. The shares mount fine, I think, but the problem is that everything mount with permissions like this:

dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Nov 20 14:30 andrea
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Nov 20 14:30 eda
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Nov 20 14:30 hap
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Nov 20 14:30 joachim
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Nov 20 14:30 ruben
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Nov 20 14:30 sandvik
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Nov 20 14:30 tomas
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Nov 20 14:30 ulfw

where the owner should be username:users

when I try logging into the server:

$ ssh tomas@lyngby
Password:
Could not chdir to home directory /home/tomas: Operation not permitted
-bash: /home/tomas/.bash_profile: Operation not permitted
lyngby:/ tomas$ cd /home/tomas/
-bash: cd: /home/tomas/: Operation not permitted

What causes this, and how do I fix it?

I found out that the problem was very simple to fix. Just add the resvport option to all the mounting point, and if works like a charm
