Another thing you want to think about is whether your pathnames look
the same no matter where you are (i.e., on a machine for which the fs
is local or one for which it is nfs).  If this is the case, you can
have one home directory, run yp, and everything is nice and
transparent.  On our cluster, all user filesystems, both local and nfs,
are mounted underneath /home -- I wish this were the convention for all
machines I have accounts on...
