[Discuss] Online vs. offline user ids

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

Currently on my work PC (Fedora 20) I have a local userid in /etc/passwd
as well as a local home directory.

What I would like to do is to set the system up to use my LDAP
credentials and my NAS home directory when online but use my local
credentials when not connected to the corporate network (eg. When the
VPN is not established). My preference would be to use the same user
name for both, but I also could set up my local account under a separate
user. I currently automount my NAS home directory on a subdirectory of
my current local home directory. The only time I would use the local
user account would probably be to configure the VPN or wireless. 99% of
the time I would be online.

So, I'm just looking for some caveats. For instance my local home
directory would be in /local/home/<user> where my online home would be
/home.
