Or is anyone out there willing to help me set this thing up off list? I have the O'Reilly NIS/NFS book, but it's really not that clear, and there is absolutely zero mention of the Automounter in my copy of the FreeBSD Handbook (although I will look to see if someone has updates it since I got it). I have a "regular" usage and an "odd" usage for it. There is a single high-speed file server holding the user directories under /usr/home. On half a dozen machines, I just need it to mount as /usr/home/whatever on demand. But on one machine, we have our file space organized by projects, so that each project has a group directory: /projectA/ project_directory user_a user_b user_c /projectA/ project_directory user_d user_a <--- note that users can appear on more than 1 user_x project. I want their home directory to appear in whatever project they are logged into. Also, is there anything like a group password in FreeBSD (yes, I know it is a Bad Idea...). Thank you all! Jane. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
