What issues did you have with NFS? Where you using it in conjunction
with NIS (or something similar)?

I know this has been posted before, but I know a bit more about linux
then 
I did last time I attempted this project.

I'm sure there are good walkthroughs for this out there, so feel free to

point me in the right direction.

We have about 12 computers on our lan running Redhat 8/9 (mostly 9).
Not 
all users use the same desk.  How could we setup a "roaming profile"
type 
system where all user accounts and home folders are stored on a central 
system.

This central system cannot be a M$ machine due to me having no budget to

work with.  :)

Last time I attempted this I was looking into setting up NFS on the 
"server", but failed misreably.

Any guidence is greatly appreceated.
