If I want to add another Linux machine to my network, and have it so that if users log onto it, or the existing Linux machine on the network, things will be the same (i.e. access the same e-mail, have the same home directory and password, etc.), what are the steps to do this?
Perhaps there are several options? Can I just NFS mount the root filesystem of the existing Linux box? Or, is it better to maintain a root filesystem on the new machine and just NFS the /home directory structure and the /var/spool/mail directory? I guess I would then need to run NIS to maintain consistent passwd files on both systems. How hard is this to setup? Any advice or pointers is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gerry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
