Okay, this looks straightforward. I just need to configure the NIS server and client, then set up the automount for the home directories. I've done this before, so I'm feeling confident I can get this done.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know a contingency reserve is used to handle risk, but I'm not sure if that's the same as mitigating risk. I'll have to think this through carefully.
