The home directive makes certain common assumptions about the struture
of your file hierarchy.
The name of the home directory must correspond to a name associated with
a uid, even if the home directory is not owned by that uid.
For example, this user account would cause trouble:
dick:SoMeHaSh:uid:gid:gecos:/home/richard:/some/shell
Running cfagent with -d 2 produces:
cfengine: directory corresponds to no user richard - ignoring
So if you rely on the home directive, make sure this matches the way you
organize your machines, because otherwise some actions that you expect
to happen may not.
