If I do that, then the whole staff folder is mounted, even if only one person is using it.
Right. You don't want that. If *only* 'lynn' is logged in you don't want the 'tom', 'dick', 'harry' and 'george' folders mounted :-) But the problem is that you are mounting directly under home. I've always mounter at /mnt/server/home/ and had a symlink from /home/anton/ to /mnt/server/home/anton/ Well, OK, in some cases I have a minimal skeleton at /mnt/home/anton and everything else symlinked to stuff like /mnt/server/home/anton/Documents Why would I do that? Well it uses *exactly* the same setup in the automounter but by using the symlinks I have a fall-back whereby I can log in and get something even when the network fails ... In your case you could also set up a link from /home2/lynn2/Documents to /mnt/server/home/lynn/Documents and so forth :-) Why? Apart from 'sharing' it also lets you do a whole class of testing. I would *never* mount directly on /home/... the way you are doing. -- Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone. --John Maynard Keynes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
