Hello,

I am interested in your strategy for handling engineer user accounts when
the engineer needs to log in to resources in a variety of locals in a global
environment for performance reasons.  The engineers home directory and
normal environment is local to where the engineer is sitting.  It is a Unix
environment.

Do you use WAN acceleration?
Do you have multiple home directories and mess with auto-mount depending on
where they log in?
What do you do and how do you manage it?

Thanks.

Cisco NFS caching box or competing brand.

Consider AFS which supports local caching of remote directory trees
and
backline resync to the original.
