Re: Using networked home directories

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.
