That workflow only works well if you have a single virtual server, mind. If
you have more than one, you'll need to have OSX NFS-serving to the VMs.

Something like this in /etc/exports on the OSX side:

/pub -rw -maproot=root -network 192.168.6.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/Users -rw -alldirs -maproot=root -network 192.168.6.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/Users/abuse -rw -alldirs -maproot=root -network 192.168.6.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

and then run "nfsd restart", and you're done. The reason I'm specifically
exporting my home directory is because I'm using FileVault encryption which
puts the encrypted directories into their own filesystem.

Inside the Linux and Solaris VMs, I use the automounter to NFS-mount home
directories on demand. (This turns out to be marginally less crufty and more
stable than explicit NFS mounts in /etc/fstab.)
