Problems with shared /usr

[Stuart Cohnen]

I am setting up a network of 25 DS2100 with a 5500 as the server. Each
DS2100 has a RZ24, however, since we need ~100Mb for paging/swapping
we have to remove /usr from each station.  So, each station nfs mounts
/usr from the server as r/o.
Problems abound... I finally got lmf to work (what a joke, they all share
the same license database and only the server writes) But Bind/Hesiod
has screwed everything up.It even effected other stations (DS5000)
not using the server but on the network.
Does anyone have experience with something like this? Are we doing it
right?(I need BIND/Hesiod to have one single /etc/passwd file).

Any help is welcome: please respond to STRCC at CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
