Ideally, an NIS user should have a single home-dir, accessible via NFS from any NIS client. If this is not your case (i.e. each system has a separate homedir for each NIS user), just create a /user symlink on each client system that points to /usr/home or /home, depending on the OS. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
