According to question, RHCE domain is already configured. We have to make a client of RHCE
domain and automatically mount the home directory on your system. To make a member of
domain, we use the authconfig with option or system-config-authentication command. There a are
lots of authentication server i.e NIS, LDAB, SMB etc. NIS is a RPC related Services, no need to
configure the DNS, we should specify the NIS server address.
Here Automount feature is available. When user tried to login, home directory will automatically
mount. The automount service used the /etc/auto.master file. On /etc/auto.master file we specified
the mount point the configuration file for mount point.
