[Linux-disciples] Exporting /var/mail

[Stephen R Laniel]

I'm in the middle of removing all the X-Window components
from one of my machines which functions as a server. Now all
the X functions will take place on another machine, which
I'll use for all client tasks like checking email.

The client machine already mounts its /home directory via
NFS from the server machine. Now I've added /var/mail to the
server's export list. Is there any reason not to mount
/var/mail via NFS from the client machine, thereby getting
all my email on the server and not having to bother with
Fetchmail?
