I'm utilizing OpenLDAP with autofs to mount user home directories on RHEL 5 systems when users login. Everything plays nice, just as you would expect, permission-wise. They have their own UPG, and the default umask is still 0002. Because most of these are developers developing in /u01, it's trivial to setup the collaboration as previously mentioned. I don't have experience with NIS or NIS+, however, so I would be interested in learning any problems with either of these setups. -- . O . O . O . . O O . . . O . . . O . O O O . O . O O . .
