I have a difficult problem of setting up and maintaining mostly identical linux installations on several machines which are sitting on a local switch which is also the gateway to the outside world.
The problem is that they are not the same hardware, there needs to be a server (although it should still have mostly the same setup), a password sever (maybe possible to just use regular passwords here if its not too insecure), a computer that is connected to the printer/scanner (which is a different computer) and possibly a web server (not sure if it will be connected). The easiest solution, if it is possible, is to mount root through nfs, and then mount home from the local disk (this sounds easy enough), the problem is that due to the slightly different hardware (X setup), and different servers (printer/password/job que/...) I need to override some files in etc. It sounds like I can play around with links from the nfs mounted etc to a local mounted etc, but it sounds like a real pain, and it allows me to override only all or none of the files (possible bypassable with multiple redirection). Bottom line, is it possible to mount /etc through nfs and the override some of the files with local ones without resorting to playing around with links? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
