[Ltsp-developer] Changes to rc.sysinit for home directories

[Norman G. <no...@tu...>]

I'm using LTSP4, really good stuff! Hope to get lbe going soon.

I needed some more flexibility with LOCAL_APPS and user home directories.
So I made some small changes to rc.sysinit. The diff is below. Here are
3 new variables that I have defined. If you don't set them then
LOCAL_APPS works as before.

Maybe someone else will find this useful.

#  HOME_SERVER
#    The NFS server containing the user home directories when using
#    LOCAL_APPS. Default is NFS_SERVER.
#
#  HOME_EXPORT
#    The directory name exported from HOME_SERVER that contains the
#    home directories. Default is /home.
#
#  HOME_MOUNT
#    The mount point for the home directories. Default is /home.
#    You will need to manually create this mount point if you use
#    LOCAL_APPS and the directory is not /home. When LOCAL_APPS
#    are in use, home directories are mounted with the command:
#    mount -t nfs -o nolock ${HOME_SERVER}:${HOME_EXPORT} ${HOME_MOUNT}

Here is the: diff rc.sysinit rc.sysinit-orig
55,56d54
< HOME_MOUNT=${HOME_MOUNT:-"/home"}
< reg_info HOME_MOUNT
59c57
<     if [ ! -d "${HOME_MOUNT}" ]; then
---
>     if [ ! -d /home ]; then
283,287d280
<     HOME_SERVER=${HOME_SERVER:-${NFS_SERVER}}
<     HOME_EXPORT=${HOME_EXPORT:=${HOME_MOUNT}}
<     reg_info HOME_SERVER
<     reg_info HOME_EXPORT
<
290c283
<     mount -t nfs -o nolock ${HOME_SERVER}:${HOME_EXPORT} ${HOME_MOUNT}
---
>     mount -t nfs -o nolock ${NFS_SERVER}:/home     /home
