Hello,

Please let me know if there is a way to authenticate users from one box and mount the users' home folders from another box.

Of course. NFS and LDAP are totally independent, but can be used together.

Even without importing autofs details into the ldap database home directories from the same machine are getting mounted on client machines. How is it possible to mount home directories from another machine in the same way? I am getting errors when I do this on client machines.

How about 1)Showing some of your configuration for autofs, and/or your maps 2)The errors you are getting
