If you have nscd (Name Services Caching Daemon) enabled, yes. However,
that will only cache the UID/GID lookups, and not authentication. If
you are using local authentication, then no problem :) Also, if you
wanted a file sharing service that would work better with a laptop, look
at Coda instead (at least for home dirs). Coda has a concept of a
disconnected mode, and caches locally the most used items that are on
the share.

I'm not looking to have a single home directory, just a place to put pictures, music, docs that I would want to access from any computer. The authentication would be to enable the write access, as anyone else who has access to the network, I'd like to have read only access. That basically sums up my end goal. Oh, and to not have the laptop choke on boot when I'm not at home and it cannot find the share.
