NetInfo Manager is the answer
I keep a user directory (just one account, not the whole /Users directory) on a Zip disk. To do this, I first created the user account with the user's control panel, then opened NetInfo Manager, authenticated, and navigated my way to that directory (/users/mike). There is an item called "home" which has the path "/Users/mike" -- I inserted my Zip disk which I had renamed to "mike" and changed home to "/Volumes/mike".
remote user directory?
How can you have your home directory be stored on a remote machine? I set up a user account on a server machine, to be accessed by all the clients, and then on the client machines I set in the netinfo manager to refer to the remote drive for it's home directory. The problem is: I can't access the remote home directory unless it's mounted, and I can't mount it unless I'm logged in, which I'm not because the home directory is missing. Is there a way to mount a network drive and keep it mounted.. even if you log out? ...or to have it automount before the user login screen comes up. |
