win 98 clients with the linux server supporting just linux clients.
how do i do that?  i know that nis is a key pice of the puzzle, and
i've kinda got it working.  but what linux tool do i use to recreate
the windows server roaming profiles?

It sounds like you are going to need help from the NIS-HOWTO located at
http://www.linuxdoc.org as well as finding out more information about the
auto-mounter which is capable of automatically mounting directories when they
are needed (like /home/<username>) and then removing the mount when they no
longer need to use it.

See ya
