Thanks. "Should be" is not really possible because this machine has
scripts written over the past five years, by several different
individuals, with extremely loose enforcement of coding style. Too late
to change that.

Here is what I did:
* symlinks to each user in /webusers to /home (as suggested by Aho)
* am enforcing a policy whereby local users home directories are called
"/home/username-local" so that there is no name squashing going on by
mistake

shouldn't matter too much -- there are not going to be more than one or
two local user on the apache box anyways. user data is all on the data box.

Thanks for any and al help, o' Usenet denizens.
