almost 100% of capacity. There are enough changes
happening this morning that rsyncing, parallel copy,
etc just becomes onerous so I am turning on NIS today

for small clusters, I would definitely use nfs-root;
for larger ones, probably ldap. having a cron job run
rsync frequently isn't a terrible solution, though,
especially if there's one canonical node (a login node)
where the only changes are made.
