Re: Using /home for application directories

Perhaps the underlying problem is that it takes an act of God to get a new
share created and they just got into the habit of using the one created on
/home?
One reason not to do it is 'security by obscurity'. If there is a share on
/home, and the general public goes there to get to their directory do you
want them finding special purpose directories?

It's picking nits but here is an example:


*-- Find subdirectories in /home where the user is gone.*
select AUTHORIZATION_NAME from qsys2.user_info

select *substr*(i.path_name, *LOCATE*('/', I.PATH_NAME, *2*) + *1*) as

I.*
FROM TABLE (QSYS2.IFS_OBJECT_STATISTICS(START_PATH_NAME *=>* '/home',

My client has been creating directories in the /home directory for

applications such as /home/finance. This seems wrong to me.

Expanding on the other replies: It's simply a matter of taste. There's
nothing wrong with this approach as long as it's used in a consistent
matter.

If it helps a bit… for me, a library in QSYS.LIB is a likewise grouping
facility. I see a library as a "project", where everything regarding this
project (source, data, applications) are tucked into one spot.

:wq! PoC
