In the following quote you mention you should create links to /var/tmp and /var/home, but /var/home doesn't exist, should we create that?


Quote:
In order not to create separate filesystems for the client's directories home and tmp, make soft links from /home to /var/home and /tmp to /var/tmp, which will ensure access to the directories for reading and writing:


server# cd /diskless_ro
server# ln -s /var/tmp .
server# ln -s /var/home .
