I would use /nfs /etc/auto.nfs --timeout=60

which will mount server:/home/nfstest at /nfs/nfstest , and just symlink /home/nfstest to /nfs/nfstest .

After a second thought... I modify this: /etc/exports: /home   192.168.1.252/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

/etc/auto.master: /mnt    /etc/auto.nfs   --timeout=60    -fstype=nfs

/etc/auto.nfs: *       -rw,soft,intr   192.168.1.247:/home/&

And finally, I also modify the home directory of user: nfstest in /etc/passwd file from /home/nfstest to /mnt/nfstest

Try logon as nfstest, and... voila!! It works!! Is this the correct way? Especially do I need to modify the home directory of the user in /etc/passwd?

Thank you very much.
