No, I didn't touch the services line, it must have been like that

It's not _very_ bad. ::-)

If we want it standalone, we can have extra (empty) home directories.
(Fine by me)

If we want meito mounting morwong:/home we need to do automounting
rather than just doing that at the same time that morwong is mounting
meito:/services . (Closer to how it is now, in case anyone objected)

<shrug> Fine by me, we'll do the repartitioning later. Probably best to
copy stuff back overnight anyway - even on a theoretically 100Mbps
network it takes a while to copy ~25GB.
