Whether you want to automount or use a standard NFS mount, /home is clearly
the wrong place.
Many's the time I've updated Apache on various systems that share /home.
Fortunately, I twigged to the problem before it bit me.
Similarly, /home is the wrong place for ftp; especially if you want to share
/home but not the ftp tree.
I've not quite decided about samba; it's probably wrong for that too.
