Managing Users in a Global Environment

Hello,

I am interested in your strategy for handling engineers Unix accounts when the engineers must log in to resources in a variety of locals in a global environment. The engineers home directory and normal environment is local to where the engineer is sitting. When they log in to a remote location access performance to their home directory, over the WAN, is poor. It is a Linux software development environment with large compiles (1-2 hours).

Do you use WAN acceleration?
Do you have multiple home directories and mess with auto-mount depending on where they log in?
What do you do and how do you manage it?


Thanks.
Randal
