Re: Mount NFS share on Fat Client

Thanks Alkis and Happy New Year! 

The point is that it's for a school laboratory and all the fat client
have guest accounts. 

If a students save to their home during one lesson, they need to work on
the same PC the next time to see their own file. 

I wish to put a link to a common folder for all the laboratory.
