how many clients? AFAIK, on the linux computers in my department in a |
| 14 |
university just has a file server, which gets mounted by every linux |
| 15 |
box as NFS, and /home/user is just a link to /mountpoint/user |

I've never administered a large network before, so I don't know how |
| 18 |
relevant this information is, but the above solution seems to work for |
| 19 |
our department and supports about 500 people, 150 machines or so. |
