Portable Homes

How can you set up your users’ /home/username directory as a directory on the server?

 

Export the server’s home directory via NFS: in /etc/exports add the line:

/home(defaults)

On the remote computer, mount home by adding an entry to /etc/fstab:

myserver:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0

This will automatically make the connection upon boot.

You could also mount manually:

mount myserver:/home /home –t nfs
