Thanks Mark, but the "ln" only applicable for few users. I have hundreds of end users. I am using NIS/NFS server to authenticate the login name and password (via NIS) and mount the users home directory using the server into the local machine (via NFS). Actually I need to use my existing NIS setup just for login/password authetication from local machine to my NIS server and then instead of using the mounted home directory of each user (from NFS server), I would like now to use any of the directory from the local machine.Such that after the users logon from the local machine, each home directory of the user will now be using the home directory of the local machine and not the mounted home directory from the NFS server.
Below are my example mounted filesystem in each workstation( local machine) Filesystem Mounted on /dev/hda1 / <IP addr of NFS server>:/home /home If I disable the NFS filesystem, all users won't be able to login since the users has no home directory in the local machine especially using Xwindows(KDE/GNOME).Unless I will create a home directory for each users in all workstations, which is not possible.
