nfs for home

Bouddha · 03-10-2003, 04:59 AM

I have a server up and running and 15 linux clients. more clients will come.
I would like to make a script who :
- when a new client is created will create an export in the nfs server like /home/newclient
- the client $HOME will be replaced by the exported nfs directory, replacements in fstab would be auto.

is it possible ? if yes, how ?
Thx in advance

i'm a bit confused about the way this is meant to work. do you mean you to automatically export a single user's home to a new system when it first connects to the system? the conventional way to do that would be to export ALL of /home to a given subnet on your network. can you explain what you're after a bit more?
