Re: Using networked home directories

[David Brodbeck <brodbd@u.washington.edu>]

One option is to make /home on the server an NFS share, and mount it  
as /home on the clients.  Then you just have to make sure the user  
IDs on the clients are the same as on the servers -- if you have more  
than a few users, this is a good application for NIS.

This is precisely how the computer lab I maintain works.
