Mixing vaxen and suns on NFS

[andre at kulcs.UUCP]

We have a number of sun's and a number of vaxen, and plan to install
4.3BSD + NFS from Mt Xinu soon.

Once this has been installed, we would like to give our users a single
home directory, to be used both when the user logs in on a sun and when
he/she logs in on a vax.

Of course, this means our users will have to be aware of the fact they
cannot mix load modules and files containing data in internal
representation between vaxen and sun's.  But what happens with
.login, .mailrc, .defaults, .suntools, etc ?  Can they be mixed
without any problem ?  Any other problems to be aware of ?

Has anyone already set up such a scheme ?  
Any comments and/or suggestions welcome
