I've have seen some conversation on this, but unfortunately, never followed
the thread (never thought I'd need to).

However, I'm looking at implementing a FreeBSD system where things like
user's home directories, and the mail directory will be shared between
several machines that users could potentially log on to.

Am I about to slit my own throat by doing this, is there anything I should
know about, and are there any better ways to share such files? Thanks in
advance
