This is one of the biggest obtacle for cluster maintainance IMHO. In
the FHS, user is nicely divided in host specific/arch
specific/unspecific stuff. Unfortunately, /etc is NOT, although that
would be VERY nice.
What would you think of having a special directory for
non-host-specific data like profile, e. g. /etc/share? Probably also
an arch-specific one. This would solve many problems. It would be
incompatible with the FHS, but I think the advantages do outweigh
that.
