Hi, I need the group's help with organizing a small network in my office. The office is a part of a big corporation. We have about 10 various computers (couple of Pentium 4, Xeons etc) all of them have Mandrake linux installed. Every computer is connected to the corporate network (LAN) and has an additional unused network card. The primary purpose of the computers is number crunching. Currently the users' home directories are exported via NFS to the all the computers in the office, so everybody can work from any station, but the major part of the work is done locally on user's station. Users info (/etc/group, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow), configurations, and software installations are managed individually for each computer (which is a hell). I would like to achieve the following goals: 1. easier administration: can use NIS for user info, but still have to manage software/updates individually. Can I mount /bin, /usr via nfs? Is it a good idea? Will this solve most of the problems? 2. better performance and load balance. I'm plan to install openmosix and interconnect the computers, so the communication between them does not pass through the corporate LAN. Any other ideas? Thanks a lot for the help
