Default NIS Support

My requirement is to create nis users in the Solaris Domain. These users are all working on Linux Desktops. All these Desktops have 40 GB Disk space
Since i am running put of Disk space on the server and since this is a temperary adjustment untill the Linux Server (NIS) comes i want to create the respective users home directories on the machine they sit. But the users will be created on the SUN Domain

Ex: User1 is on Client1. So the user1 home directory will be created manually with the mkdir command. This directory will be given an entry in the auto.home map on the SUN NIS SERVER as :
user1 client1:/users/user1

Now the user1 can log in from any machine which are part of the NIS Domain and when he says "cd", he will be in his home directory(/home/user1)

2. the df -k on the linux machine looks like this :

/dev/sda3 5036316 3831744 948740 81% /
/dev/sda1 101086 8549 87318 9% /boot
none 517940 0 517940 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda2 15116868 73132 14275832 1% /home
/dev/sda6 14080928 67772 13297864 1% /home1
/dev/hda 641798 641798 0 100% /media/cdrom

Now /dev/sda6 which is mounted on /home1 is not utilised and i want to make it as /users. I want to delete the /home1 partition and give it to /users
Can u please send me the steps
