I use the latter. Using automounter on the NFS server means that the same file (or NIS map) can be used on the server and clients for the users' home directories, and automountd handles the details. This also means that, for example, if one of your users' home directories move to another machine, the change is almost transparent. It may not be the most efficient technique, but for my own sanity and ease of administration, I definitely prefer it. -- Stephen Walton, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, California State University, Northridge [EMAIL PROTECTED]
