- Unfortunately this is only true if you have an entry in your auto.home
- map for each user. Ideally, NET.EXE would have some code to process
- wildcard lines such as:
-
- * &:/usr/local/homes
-
- Or even better yet, NET.EXE should use the home directory information
- it got from rpc.pcnfsd during the NET NAME command, which must have
- already happened in order for $HOME to know who's home to get!
