With ltsp-pnp client starts ldm login program. When you enter your login and
password this ldm program connects you to the server with ssh-x session and
sshfs mounts ssh user (used for login) home directory. This process includes
many steps in user session init phase that are used in manners to protect the
user sessions and users from reading other users files (home profiles, files).
Similarly if you have local computer with multi-user Debian Gnome desktop you
shouldn't get any access to other local users homes. The special mount point
settings in the server you just played with and configured (nfs,sshfs,symlinks)
are literally "special" mount points in addition to normal home profiles and
you understood Now that Linux multi-user home profile directories can be
considered special share too. If you share home directories You Are not using
Linux home directories in standard way - You should if you want to use
multi-user server or desktop PC . trying to share all home profiles with other
users... neither special mount points, or traditional Linux home profiles don't
have any meaning. It's your special use case (whether in ltsp network or in
local desktop) how you want to manage the user data/home profile access rights.
Also as You Are building a home network I think it's different setup from any
ltsp network or any industry client network and very difficult to answer how
ltsp server fits to your needs. You didn't first mention it... questions and
answers you got here were not accurate.
if you want to discuss about your LTSP plan, have a Quick look first into
ltsp.org and read Support page how to contact LTSP project irc channel. It
will save yourself a lot time and you get forward in your project with or
without LTSP.
Do You really benefit from full centralized network boot server infrastructure
or can you use just do with traditional Debian distribution a shared disk
storage and/or remote desktop? In my opinion LTSP is useful in provisioning at
low cost and quickly many computing resources on centralized infrastructure.
and in your use case you Are juts trying to share disk storage and remote
desktop? there might be easier and Better alternatives (remote desktop
software is available on all popular OS).
If you contact to irc channel then After The question other users get back to
you using their nickname and might ask more questions about the use case to
guide you forward (if some LTSP network fit or doesn't fit to your case).
after The question be patient and keep the irc window open
most of the people are experienced ltsp professionals so while you discuss
listen what they recommend regarding LTSP in your use case. also people might
not be available all day so after The question be patient (prepare to keep irc
Window open full day)

I'm using Debian as a multi-user platform for the members of my family.
The data within the home-directory are physically stored within two
different partitions (e.g. with a different block size for /home and
/home2) to speed up large files like VirtualBox Images and so on (
/home2 is included to /home via symlinks). Since it is a privat network
there was (almost) no need to change the default settings for files and
folders and users are able to read from other users home directory which
makes file sharing very easy.
Since children are getting older and want to use the computer more often
I've installed a LTSP-PNP client as an additional working station and
have mounted the 2nd home-partition (/home2) via LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS
- the same symlinks from the server can be used for the client as well.
Now, users (working on the client) are able to read from other users
/home2 which is fine since I have the same situation at the server.
However, users are not able to read from other users /home because only
one user-directory (the directory of the actual user) is mounted at
/home by default.
Is there a way to have all user-directories be mounted at /home?
