localhome

Description / Use cases

Sometimes a local home directory makes more sense than the home on a network share.

For example, with:

Laptops with Wi-Fi connectivity
Laptops that are also used outside the school network (e.g., teacher devices)
Devices assigned to a specific user who synchronizes data using a sync client

Requirements

Nothing

Activation / Default

To enable the local home directory, set the variable localhome to true (default: false).

Example

Hosts in group laptops will get the localhome.
All computers in the desktop group, except the PC with IP address 10.0.2.33, will have their home directory on the network (default).
The PC with IP address 10.0.2.33 also has a local home directory.
Hosts in group desktop will have home on net (default)
