Here at school we have about 6 SPARC's running 4.1.3, and serving the math
undergrads. Each of these machines has a /tmp directory, which is writeable
be all, and from files are purged every so eften to save space (there is a
quota system on our home directories). Each user can log in to any of these
servers, and his/her home directory is automatically mounted via NFS, so one
doesn't have to worry about the location of one's files.
My problem is that if I have a file named /tmp/rep.1, say, on machine 1,
and then log into machine 2, and I need to either ftp it, or do an rlogin to
machine 1 in order to access it. Is there any way that I (as non-root) can
mount a directory (say: machine1:/tmp/a540ami) onto a subdirectory in my
home dir.? I've mounted to do a symbolic link from ~/tmp -> /tmp/a540ami,
but this of course fails if I'm logged into the wrong machine...
Thanks in advance for any help. Please e-mail and I'll post a summary if
there's a demand (which I highly doubt...;).
