RE: Setting up a linux network
read about NFS, http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/index.html
or samba (if you also want to share files accross windows and linux)
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html (or visit samba.org)
NIS is very commonly used for server based authentication
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/NIS-HOWTO/index.html
but I would suggest that you look into LDAP, this way
you can use it not only for Linux/Unix boxes but also your Windows
network. Besides, you can use LDAP for many different applications.

Subject: Setting up a linux network
Hello!
I want to know, what can i do to have a linux network equivalent to
a windows one? This meaning, here at my college, the computer
lab network is made of a number of win2k PCs, anyone can sit
down at any terminal, login with his user/pass, and the network
loads automatically his profile, home directory,etc.
The users save their files to their mapped network drive, that
resides phisically at the server.
So far the linux network we made is up and running, the pcs can
ping eachother... but now what is there to do so we can do all of
the above? Any links, man files i should check, anything?
Thanks!
Camilo
