The standard way of dealing with that is to use an automounter and have it read its automount maps from NIS, which lets you control all desktops' mountpoints from a single location. The O'Reilly on NFS and NIS has a chapter on setting this up and it seems to be widely used in larger environments, although I can't say that I've yet had a reason to try it myself. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Mr. Slippery
