You misunderstood me: I claim^wreport that FHS prohibits that directory. Hmmm. Now that I wanted to link to the relevant text, I cannot find it as deterined as I thought. But http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#THEROOTFILESYSTEM says : has this: Applications must never create or require special files or subdirectories in the root directory. Other locations in the FHS hierarchy provide more than enough flexibility for any package. Distributions should not create new directories in the root hierarchy without extremely careful consideration of the consequences including for application portability. So it's a should, not a must :-) > Be aware that the home directories need to be three levels down to > avoid NFS hang on / if a NFS server is unresponsive.

How about using /srv/skole/home and /srv/skole/backup ? (for lenny...) regards, Holger
