#7 Re: A complete Linux Network Posted by dkg (216.254.xx.xx) on Wed 11 Apr 2007 at 21:46 If you're using libnss-ldap, UID synchronization should be no problem. And with NFS, you don't need to automount the user's home directory, you can just mount the entire /home (or whatever) in /etc/fstab and people will just use it. Do try to use NFSv4, though (though i haven't tried it myself) as it has a real per-client authentication model and built-in encryption possibilities (NFSv3 servers implicitly trust that the client workstation isn't lying about the user's identity, which is a bad bad thing unless you really lock down the client workstation).
