But if TMPDIR="$HOME/tmp" then you have the same problem. Furthermode, you _do want_ to store index databases unser $HOME if you are using NFS otherwise you'd have to re-index your home directory every time you sit down at a different lab machine, which would mean a huge amount of completely unneccessary extra I/O for your NFS server.
