Common Home directory for different users??
Hi Guys,
I have a problem with configuring a server. this is a solaris 10 with sparc platform.
I have setup so that the server is Authenticating through NIS but I dont want the server to Mount the Home directories. The users need to logged in through the CDE/display.
I have over 200 users that needs to log in. I am trying to create a Common Home directories for users that have the same group.
This is OK when only single user that logged in but when more than one users from the same groups login to the server. the last one to log in will have error and couldnt get the GUI.
Is there any workaround for this?otherwise I need to create a home directory for every user in like 50 servers.
Please reply.
regards

NOTES
YP/NIS, NIS+ and LDAP users should be aware that it's possible to have conflict with users configured in here with the result that an error
will occur.
You should ensure that local user's home accounts are located on local filesystems - e.g. creating a new entry in /home when it's mounted
with automount will not work and as such the user may not be created.
