The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Best way to mount remote home directories

Asked by teewurstmann in Linux Networking

Tags: afs, remote

Hi!

Ok, I have a difficult problem:
We have a Gentoo Linux/Solaris 2.8 environment. Our user's home directories are on the Solaris box and are being used via NFS.
We are not happy with NFS anymore, so we are looking for alternatives. We were thinking about Samba. The authentication happens via NIS.
What is the best way to automatically map the remote home directories for each user when he/she logs in. (for example via SSH or directly at the workstation).
I guess the mapping of the home directory for each user must happen before the system-logon is complete because config files reside in the the home dirs (.zprofile, for example).
Please help me with specific answers. Stuff like "you could use AFS", doesn't help, I know that myself. I need a spefic answer to my specific problem.

Thank you so much!
