Exploring options & Follow-up question:
I've determined that NIS and local user logins can coexist on a system,... Especially, on a PXE boot the biggest issue is how to map the local user "/home" account properly with NFS. Not simple, but certainly less convoluted than what I was considering in my previous post...
Is everyone so attached to NIS login for what would be, essentially, a bolt-on addition/convenience that you would reject a "dummy" local user account, considering that might be the least amount of change to the system and more easily removable?!
I'm not all about the easy way, over the right way, but this looks like an area where to do it, the easy way gets it done, while the right way ends up standing in line (in que, for the Brits,... ) waiting to cash a check...
