I am attempting to nfs mount the /home filesystem from a Network Appliance
NFS server.

Here is my problem:

I can mount /home, and ssh into the box OK, but when I go to su to root, I
just get the standard "Sorry" message, like it is not able to lookup the
home directory for the root account.  /home/root is the home directory for
the root account, and is a symlink to /root.  Is their some quirk of su
that does not allow home directories to be NFS mounted symlinks? (or
symlinks from an NFS to local file system?)

Thanks,
Eric
