Synchronize two LTSP servers' /home?

[theluketaylor]

You probably want to setup a cron rsync job if you really want to sync.

a /home NFS server and mounting the user's files rather than storing them
locally would be a much more robust option.  Depending on the bandwidth
between sites that might not be reasonable performance though.
