Seems I'm living a life of balance... One problem solved and posted for everyone to benefit from, another question pops up and I need everyone's help. :-) I've got home directories on my files server. I'm running Samba, and all my windows boxes get their home directories assigned to /pchome/%S (ie, /pchome/username) to keep them separate from their linux home directory. I'd like to set it up so that all my linux workstations get their home directories from the file server. I'd like the file server to be the only repository of login authentications (ie, the only holder of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow). I've got about 6 different user accounts that have (unfortunately), different user id's. Ie, "agtiger" might be user id 500 on one box, and userid "503" on another. I didn't add them in the same order. I know I saw someone else recently post that they did this kind of nfs home directory sharing, and that they wished they'd done it much sooner. Anyone willing to post their NFS configuration files so I can get a jumpstart and don't have to tackle this with "trial-and-error (mostly error)"? ;-) Argentium -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
