I may need to expand the size of the installation in the reasonably near future, so I need to keep down its consumption of bandwidth. Upgrades can be done via rdist as and when required. [snip] Many thanks for the details on automounter and NFS. I'll work my way through the notes when I sit down with the machine and puzzle out a strategy. If there's no network hit in just mounting /home to the client machines, though, I'll probably just do that, because it keeps the configuration so much simpler. We don't have a full-time network administrator to watch over this stuff yet, so it's got to be pretty easy for me to untangle in case I'm drawn back to it to fix problems.
