for example, you have a server A that is handing out all employee home dirs via NFS. So, I go to Host B and log in. Now, NIS handles all the logon stuff, and then mounts my home dir on Host B via NFS. Now, IF something should happen to cause the NFS connection to Server A drop, and this could be anything from a momentarily unplugged cable, to whatever, then Host B will have to be hard booted, because the machine stops functioning if a user is logged in and his home directory suddenly disappears.
Been there, done that... more times than I care to remember... ;)

It isn't necessary that the server need to be hard booted to get it back. pass appropriacte parameters to nfs and you are in the run.
