Filesystem layout
I just bought a NV+ and am working on the decent configuration. Once I was able to ssh into the machine, I noticed that the / filesystem was very cluttered. I created a share for each person that used...

Luckily, I am still working the kinks out, so I have no worries about a full backup. Interestingly enough, I noticed that all of my user accounts where located at /c. I moved the user directories to /c/home. I also noticed in /etc/passwd that the home directory was correct insofar as /c/home/<username>. I added the samba add-on, and check again, and saw that all of my users were once again back in /c instead of /c/home.
I finally found out what my error was! I actually created shares with the usernames. When I tried to create accounts later, I received an error that the name already existed. I deluser the usernames, and then I removed the shares. I then made sure that I created the user names properly, and set the security properties. I manually changed /etc/password to give the UID I wanted (and changed the default media and backup to other UID... Might cause problems later). Now is seems like it is working more to my likes, although I don't like that webroot is not under /c/home, but I can live with that until I look at seeing how to solve that one.
