This saves users from having to
download messages to their current computers or from having to log in to the server just
to get mail. There is only one mailbox for each user, no matter from where it is accessed.
/home??”This is a similar concept to sharing mail, except that all users have access to
their home directories from any of the NFS clients. Again, you would mount /home on
the same mount point on each client computer. When the user logs in, he or she has access
to all of the startup files and data files contained in his or her /home/user directory.
If your users rely on a shared /home directory, you should make sure that the NFS
server that exports the directory is fairly reliable. If /home isn??™t available, the user may
not have the startup files to log in correctly, or any of the data files needed to get work done. One
workaround is to have a minimal set of startup files (.bashrc, .Xdefaults, and so on) available
in the user??™s home directory when the NFS directory is not mounted. This enables the user to log in
properly at those times.
/project??”Although you don??™t have to use this name, a common practice among users
on a project is to share a directory structure containing files that people on the project need
to share so that everyone can work on original files and keep copies of the latest versions
in one place.
