It is a bit strange for the first time.
But is it a bit more complicated the next time... :)
The question actually is about some packages.
Just to remember, one of them is apache (that installs
into /home/httpd). Another _was_ samba that used /home/samba
for some strange purpose (samba doesn't need this, while
apache does). I use nfs-mounted /home via automount for
some machines, so that actual user's directories are shared,
and user should not even notice it's phisical location.
But if I install, e.g., apache, I will need to setup
it's home directory on _different_ machine, so that apache
will use files from nfs!? Yes, I know about symlinks, but
this is not the case here. Or I should nfs-mount some other
directory (not /home) and made symlinks like /home/$i => /mountpoint/$i
for _ALL_ my users!?
And, if /home/httpd does not exists on master machine, installing
of apache will simply fail on non-master one...
Maybe we should change all packages that touches /home/something to
move things to, say, /var or /usr (should be considered for each
package)? For apache this should be /var/httpd, I think...
Yes, I know, this can break historic compatibility, but (again,
as I think) a bit ugly one...
So I recall -- what is the purpose of /home in RedHat Linux!?

Michael.
