Configuring Users' Home Directories

The home directories of user accounts set up for JavaStation users must be NFS(TM) shared. This requirement is handled automatically when users are added or modified using the Netra j 3.0 User Accounts module. Some user accounts may not be NFS shared if they existed prior to the Netra j 3.0 software installation or upgrade. To activate NFS sharing of such user accounts, follow these instructions:

To Activate NFS Sharing of Existing User Accounts

1. As superuser, open the /etc/dfs/dfstab file in a text editor.

2. For each user, add the following line to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file.

   share -F nfs -o rw -d "directory_description" /export/home/username

   Where directory_description is a description of the directory and /export/home/username is the user's home directory.

   If existing users all have a common home directory base, for example, /export/home, you can edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file as follows:

   share -F nfs -o rw -d "directory_description" /export/home
