If /home is mounted over NFS via an automount map, root is unlikely to be able to create directories in /home. While root can be configured to be allowed to write in individual home directories, it can't automatically create an automount map, which is very common in larger NFS setups. Thus, it's very unfortunate that the debian/preinst script fails - if it has to create a /home/ANONYMOUS directory, could it possibly be set to just warn if it detects autofs?

Ok for this package, but the problem of creating a dir on an autofs-mounted /home remains unsolved. Other packages will eventually need to do this (anonymous ftp packages come to mind).
I think there must be a way for the admin(box owner) to set the default dir for creating new home dirs. I used "useradd -D -b /l/home". I think useradd is an optional package, though, and may be not there.
Anyway, I wonder why do they create /home/ANONYMOUS and not /var/cache/cups-pdf or alike. I need to read docs...
