Sharing Remote Work Directories

After you have created a new user’s account, you must decide which directories within the workgroup the user needs to access. NFS allows users to use their own local systems to work on files residing on file servers or other systems in the workgroup. The server or remote system shares with the local system and the local system mounts from the remote system.

The topic “Adding a User to Several Systems: A Case Study” illustrates how you might set up your users.
