	Have your mail/News directory on machine 'b', and make
a symbolic link on machine 'a' that goes across a mount to 'b'.

	I'm making assumptions:  that you have symlinks, and that
there is, or can be, a convenient mount from a->b.

	Something that might help (and slightly off the subject):

	At island we recently redid the filesystem naming.  Every machine
has a /usr/machinename directory, which contains directories for people
and projects.  Every machine mounts every other machine's /usr/machinename
directory (this is for machines with disks...).  So...my home dir
is /usr/sumatra/people/daniel (on all of the machines), but I usually
read my mail on "island" - the mail always gets saved to ~daniel/text/mail,
(all of the password files have the same paths) it doesn't matter what
machine I'm on.  If you're in an environment where you can do this, try it!
It's much easier to deal with one big account than four or five small ones.
