Trying to find the best option for me for better “shared” “/home” directories.
I ideally would like to give everyone a network based /home directory so I could quota the
folders so people would quit filling up every severs /home directory.
We have two major use cases, the first isn’t much of a problem, but combined with the
second it makes a problem.
* We have servers that people login to with their LDAP that are always connected to our
NFS server.
* We also have laptops that users login with their LDAP account and connect to the network
via VPN.
I realize I can force everyone’s home directory to like /nfshome/<user> in freeIPA,
but the problem with this is if they are remote on the laptop it causes all kinds of
issues when they aren’t on the VPN.
What are my options for handling this? Should I just quota everyone on the severs and tell
everyone to use /nfshome/<user> and then leave the laptops alone?
