 Hi
 
 How can we use NIS to control a user in different servers?
 
 eg: serverA /home/userA/javaapplication
 serverB /export/home/userA/javaapplication
 serverC /vol/home/javaapplication

 If you use NIS auto.home for home directories in general, e.g. /home/user,
 you can install a local auto.home map on each server so that /home/userA is
 a different physical directory on each server See 18.3.3.1 at

Automounter maps?  I guess they'd need a bit of intelligence
