Thanks Ed, Okay, I read the man page on autofs and I have a general idea of what to do. a couple of questions, though. Should I create an "auto.home" file or put the entry in "auto.master"? Also, what would be the proper syntax for adding $USER into the file?
Thank you for your help.

The auto.homes file would be set up to do just that. That is what we do here. All user directories are on a central server that gets backed up nightly. Of course, I have had to chastise them about downloading music to their systems and saving in their home directories as that chews up disk space, but that is another story. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
