Date: 22 Aug 1994 13:49:15 GMT Organization: BETA Mountain Lines: 10 Message-ID: <33aacr$d9b@sundog.tiac.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: spoon.beta.com I've have seen some conversation on this, but unfortunately, never followed the thread (never thought I'd need to). However, I'm looking at implementing a FreeBSD system where things like user's home directories, and the mail directory will be shared between several machines that users could potentially log on to. Am I about to slit my own throat by doing this, is there anything I should know about, and are there any better ways to share such files? Thanks in advance
