Recently I post a bugreport about samba via bugzilla (for samba, this was
really a bug, since samba does not need any dedicated "home" at all),
and it is now ok (since Tue Oct 05 1999, made by Bill Nottingham).

No comments as I don't know about queue... :)

One small(?) relatted question: is it possible to mount / readonly?
At least with mount command itself, it seemed to be impossible, as
mount tries to modify /etc/mtab, and initscripts directs it to do so;
but there is a "file" -- /proc/mounts -- already here... I can't find
quick solution for this, at least without modifiyng mount sources
(so it will default to -n mode), or each mount will give an error,
especially with automounter...

Maybe post another bugreport for this?
Tradition to place apache to /home is very old...
