[nzlug] Shared Home Partitions & logging in as the same user twice

[Howard]

Anything to watch out for in logging on to two separate machines that 
share a /home partition?

I want to use another machine, and plan to mount /home on the second via 
nfs.  I'll also plan to log into as the same user on both - at the same 
time.

I assume it is up to individual programs to manage conflicts with regard 
to setup files etc, but I'd hope they generally manage this properly.

Also, both are the same Ubuntu OS (one is a 64 bit, and the other is 32 
bit however), but both should be matched closely in terms of 
versions/updates.  I'm guessing that different OSs may store their 
program configs in different places.

thanks
