Because the entry made in the LDAP server by the YaST tool, needs to
have the path as /export/home, so that when a user logs into a
workstation with a LDAP usrname, it should now to use /export/home on
the workstation as home dir and not /home, else the user will not get
his/her home dir.
On the LTSP server, /export/home is an NFS export and all workstations
NFS mount that to a local /export/home
For people logging in from a thin client this is not a problem.
