A possibly somewhat less horrible - but still horrible - way might be to physically make home be a subdir of /var and then to use the mount command with the --bind option to mount /var/home on /home The mount could either go in /etc/fstab, or if you have a tyranical distro, put the mount cammand in your rc.local file. I have used this approach in the past. It worked well. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
