Two set of users. One set has a remote /home, other set has a local /home2. This is perfectly feasible, the system should be happy about it.
Quite so! In the case of 'roving logins' where a centrally managed account system (YP or LDAP) allows users to log in at any workstation and have their "home" NFS mounted - the system that, as I mentioned, SUN was running from the 1980s onwards - there was also a local admin ("?root?") account. So how was a global root login supported? See /etc/nsswitch Nothing new here, just a lot of detail to get right. Once its 'right' its 'obvious'.
