RE: /home IFS directory

["Pytel, Alexei" <pytela1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

/home directory is just UNIX convention - it is a root for user's
private directories.
By convention various UNIX utilities look in /home/<username> for such
things as profiles, customization files etc.
There's nothing special about it in terms of handling by operating
system.

    Best regards,

          Alexei Pytel
