[DM-MUG] Help with sharing re-located home directories

Hi Everyone,

I've just remapped the home directories for the users on a box running 
Panther 10.3.5 to a nice fast LVD SCSI drive. I used NetInfo to alter 
the absolute path of each users home directory to a directory called 
Users on the new drive. When anyone logs in locally (not across the 
network) everything works great.

The problem comes when we login from another computer. In that case the 
old Home directory is mounted. I'm thinking there is more NetInfo dirty 
work to be done in Sharing or Mounts (both?) but I need a resource to 
get started. Nothing in the Missing Manual Book and nothing obvious at 
Apple or places like Mac OS X Hints.

Thanks for your suggestions, Doug
