I have read | many documents, lists, and other information on this. I read on SAMBA, | LDAP, NFS, kerbosis and more. I have myself very confused on what to | do. I tried SAMBA, which works for sharing, but not for user | management. LDAP and kerbosis I am just confused. | | I could your advice or a HOW-TO set this up and get it working. The | laptop will need a local user as well outside the home network. You have two possibilities: 1- use ltsp, as suggested in another mail. In that case your clients will be considered as diskless and they must have a bios which accept PXE boot. 2- use automount (ie. nfs) with nis - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université Paris Descartes Tél. +33 (0)1 44 55 35 61 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHsFUOdE6C2dhV2JURAqWUAJ9IwJZwccXu13yq8RvFd9ZzP02LwgCeNEFz R79IkZZOV/+bQ4zq4f7vAi4= =LxFl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
