Hi,

My name is David Harel and I work under Liliana's management. It's me to blame
for the long delay of this SUMMARY.

My original question was:

All in all the answers were like this.

I would recommend to mount the home directory partition in a separate path
on your servers; e.g.

/export/home/MACHINE

and change the auto.home map as follows:

 * &:/export/home/&
