We've got 3 "systemless" DS3100 being servered by a VS3100.
We are using Yellow Pages, home is /home/$VAXname/$USERname,
swap and /tmp are on local disc (/tmp to speed up compiling);
I called the Riscs systemless because they have data-discs connected
to them (640 Mb = one data-set) which get moved according to need.
(Would that answer your removable data-carrier problem ? :^} )
System security and look-alike-ness :
only root is allowed to log in on the VS3100;
changes to the DS3100's systems are done on the server.
Backup:
data are to be saved by the users,because only they know when
it's sensible;
home and the like is all on the server.
Our net is running fine enough for 3 machines, but our next DS3100
will be standalones because the net would go down too much if 6 users
compiled simultaneously (3 users already sync themselves fine,thank you 8^} );
also we might want to run a machine single-user with a really huge job.
I hope this helps you on
