Home directories

[Uno Engborg]

I am the only one thinking that installing new users home directories 
into /home/ by default is a bad idea.  What I would have liked to see in 
future Fedora releases is,  a /export/home directory that was used by 
default, and that the user directories was automounted
on /home/. from that or from some file server.

That way it would be much easier to make network setups. It would also 
simplify the use of mobile computers not always connected to the 
network, as they could mount home directories
on a file server when connected to a network, and to fail over to the 
local version when disconnected. The server and the remote /etc/exports 
could then be kept synchronized with rsync. when the user logged in or 
out, or on user  demand.

Any thoughts?
