[wplug] "roaming profiles" in linux..

[Jonathan S. Billings]

We use AFS and kerberos at work, but if you want something quick and 
easy to set up, i'd suggest setting up everyone's systems with their 
/home exported via NFS.  Turn on the Auto-mounter daemon (amd).  For 
authentication, set up an NIS server and at least one slave NIS server. 
  Once set up, everyone's home directory would be something like:

/nfs/mymachine/home/username

You'd have the same home directory, regardless of whether you are on 
'mymachine'.  Amd is nice because if you are on mymachine, the above 
mountpoint isn't actually NFS but rather a remounting of the real 
physical disk.  That way all paths look the same no matter what system 
you are logged into.
