I understand from your email that sudo isn't expected to work. Fair enough. > NFS_HOME=/home means "I exported the server /home in /etc/exports.

I installed nfs-kernel-server on the server and nfs-common in the chroot but forgot to modify the exports file. When my home directory was mounted by default I didn't think to go back and troubleshoot nfs. Now that I have done that the NFS_HOME option works as expected. > LDM_DIRECTX is for X traffic.

Now that /home is mounted via nfs I don't see ssh or sshfs in the processes list during bulk transfers. For example 'dd if=/dev/nbd0 of=/dev/null' now produces nearly double the network throughput. The client CPU is still the limiting factor here, but nbdproxy is the biggest hog, and less of a hog than ssh and sshfs were previously. > Indeed LDM does not support user switching. Too bad for me. Is there a way to hack in user switching support (for dummies)? Can I use something other than LDM to get this functionality? Thanks again for your help. I really like the fat client concept and it appears to work well. db ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
