I want to separate our web server from our shell server and put them on separate machines. Right now, each user has their own little web folder under their home directory. What's the best way to accomplish this separation task? Create one mountable partition, and have symlinks to individual (user) folders with in that?
With a mail spool, I was able to do that fairly easy, since everyone's INBOX sits in the same location: /var/mail/ (or /var/spool/mail/ if you want to be picky.) I just used a different server, installed NIS, and nfs mounted that server on the user server and away it went. But when dealing with several folders, each one within a user directory, and having different permissions (per user,) I'm scratching my head.
Any brilliant ideas?
