I'm confused also, cause the only way it makes sense to
me is via:

        *       machine:/home/&

Another problem is that auto.home seems to only allow
one wild card entry. For example I would have thought
the following would work, but I can't seem to get it to work:

        *       machine1:/dir/&
        *       machine2:/dir/&


What appears to happen is the first entry gets accepted
and 2nd gets ignored.
