It's been a while since I've looked at setting this up, but if a group has a number of linux machines and each user wants to be able to log on to each machine and have access to the same home directory, is the state of the art still nfs and nis? I'm talking maybe 10 people at most, each with a desktop machine, and then a few extra machines in a data center. We at least want everyone to have the same home directory on the data center machines as they have on their desktop. Extra credit if Bob can log on to Joe's machine and get his home directory there.
What if we don't have one server with a hard drive big enough to store every users home directory, but, for example, each user has a desktop machine with a drive plenty big enough for him self. Would it be foolhardy to make each workstation an nfs server and have any other machine you log into auto-mount your home directory on your workstation?
