Correct. So only automount /home when the client systems are current. > Is it gonna be much slower because my home directory is now > gonna be an NFS mount and I have a 100BaseT connection to my > home directory? Not always. It really depends on how much /tmp is used for. And don't forget that you can always put symlinks in your home directory to local files. The only thing that gets me is mail files (e.g., mbox). Which is why I use IMAP for mail, and never store on a NFS mount. Otherwise, 100Mbps hasn't been much of an issue with NFS mounted home directories. When I need performance, then I use the local disk. Which is why I always create workstations that are also in my automounter maps as "/home/systemname". -- Bryan J.
