[K12OSN] NFS Mount /home....Users Menus missing

[Petre Scheie]

Here's a guess out of left field: can your terminal server resolve the name & address of 
the server providing /home?  And vice-versa: can the /home server resolve the name & 
address of the terminal server?  Do they both have themselves and the other in their 
respective /etc/hosts file?  I've run into strange problems with NFS from time to time 
that turned out to be DNS/name resolution related.
