the question states " home directorie[s] must be writable by their user[s]" , so i assume they are referring to autofs indirect method mount. This will work for remoteuser16 as well as for future remoteuser homedir mounts. Here is how i will address it - # install autofs if not installed dnf install -y autofs # Create autofs file - defining the base mount dir . here it is /rhome - where all the homedirs will be mounted vi /etc/auto.master.d/auto.autofs /rhome /etc/home.indirect # create the indirect mount file vi /etc/home.indirect * -rw,sync host.domain11.example.com:/rhome/& # enable and start autofs systemctl enable --now autofs # Validate su - remoteuser16 pwd touch testfile

I think provided solution have mistake. I see resolution as below: vim /etc/auto.master.d/demo.autofs (/rhome /etc/auto.demo) vim /etc/auto.demo (ldapuser11 -rw,sync host.domain11.example.com:/home) As task mention that host.domain11.example.com exports /home dir ? Am I right?
