I think I am missing something here.

If the system is changed to have a local filesystem mounted as /home,
then the automounter can't also use that point to mount /home/otherpeople,
right?

If so, when I move my client laptop from home to work (where home implies
no NIS/NFS and work implies the opposite), then I'm stuck, right?
I'd have to move the filesystem mount from /home to /export/home,
change my auto_home map and update nsswitch.conf.

Contrast that to today, where I mount the local filesystem on /export/home,
set up nsswitch.conf to use  "files", add an entry to auto_home for ~plocher,
and, when I drop by the office, I simply change nsswitch.conf, change the
entry to "files NIS", and run ypinit....
