Please teach me how to have a node-specific file on a diskless Sun ? I am porting a software product from HP to Sun. HP has a "cluster" to support diskless nodes. They have Context Dependent File (CDF) to have a node-specific file for each node. How does Sun support such an idea ? It seems to me that Sun makes heavy use of NFS and symbolic links. What man pages do I need to read ? Thanks in advance, Masa
