Re: [school-discuss] Student desktop machines: cleanup on logout?

["Kim Perkins" <kperkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An alternative that we use is when a student logs on their home 
directory is mapped to
an nfs mounted directory that they own  on the server.  In this mounted 
directory all the
user's information is storred including web history etc.  This means 
that it does not matter
which machine that they use they get their entire account and nothing is 
saved on the
workstation at all.  Any machine with a decent hard drive can act as 
your nfs server.
We use automount to initiate and terminate the nfs mount on login/out.
