My objective in this section is to create three VMs on any of the four vmservers. I will create one server and two clients that can access that server. The server will contain:

• At least three user accounts
  • My own.
  • wedge, password:bob
  • test1, password:test1
• NFS (Network File System) of /home that only the clients can access
• As well as an NIS (Network Information Service) that will serve any and all user accounts on the server.

The client VMs will contain:

• NO local user accounts
• configured to be an NFS client (nfs-common)
• configured as an NIS client
• automount (autofs5) of user home directories in /home

I created my server and clients using

root@vmserver01:~# xen-create-image --hostname='desired-hostname-here' --dhcp --verbose
