I have a network of 5 identical lab machines which are all
Gateway 90MHz pentium machines with ATI Mach64 graphics cards.
For administration reasons, I would prefer to have them mount
/usr/X11R6 from a network location. I am trying to run XFree86 this
way, and having no luck. 

I have created an XF86Config file that works
fine on one of the machines which happens to have a full XFree86
installation. I have copied that XF86Config file to /etc/XF86Config
on one of the other machines. I have also made the symbolic link
from usr/X11R6/bin/X to usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64 on the server.
I have mounted usr/X11R6 from the server on /usr/X11R6 on the client.
When I run startx, I get this error message:
ld.so: xinit: libXmu.so.0: Undefined error: 0

What I would like to know is, is it possible to run XFree86 using a
network-mount setup? We administer Openwindows and X11R5 this way
already for our network of Suns and SGIs, and I would prefer to keep
this model if possible.

I have searched the XFree86 and FreeBSD web pages for information about
this with no success.

Thanks for any information,
