NIS, automount and offline

Hi,

At work I have a laptop w/Suse 10. I'm using NIS and automount, thus my home
directory is my network home (on the fileserver)

This is fine, but then I go somewhere, bringing my laptop, I no longer have
access to the file server with my home partition and the NIS server. I have
fixed this by adding a local user that I'm using when I'm not at work.

This is not ideal. Is there some solution available for Linux that will
enable seemless use of NIS and automount whether I'm connected to the
network or not? This must of course involve some kind of cashing of network
user and pw and syncing of home partition files.

A lot of people must have this problem. What do you do?

Regards,
Ole Jacob
