Assume you are setting up an account on the system named wsj6700 for the user lisa. In this example, lisa’s home directory will reside on her local disk and will be shared with the other systems she logs in to.

  1. On the local system, do the following:

    1. Create the user’s account. See “Configuring Users and Groups with HP SMH”.

    2. Share the user’s home directory with other systems that the user needs to log in to:

      • Add an entry, such as flserver, to /etc/dfs/dfstab:

        share -F nfs -o access=mailserver:appserver:flserver /home/lisa
      • Share the home directory/home/lisa:

        # /usr/sbin/share /home/lisa
  2. On the remote system, do the following:

    1. Create an empty directory:

      # mkdir /home/lisa
    2. Add entry to /etc/fstab :

      wsj6700:/home/lisa /home/lisa nfs rw,suid 0 0
    3. Mount all directories:

      # mount -a

See “Sharing an HP-UX Directory” for more information.
