Hi

How can we use NIS to control a user in different servers?

eg: serverA /home/userA/javaapplication
serverB /export/home/userA/javaapplication
serverC /vol/home/javaapplication

Thank you

Automounter maps? I guess they'd need a bit of intelligence....

If you use NIS auto.home for home directories in general, e.g. /home/user,
you can install a local auto.home map on each server so that /home/userA is
a different physical directory on each server See 18.3.3.1 at
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-nfs-client-config-autofs.html.
