Why the underscore? Just put it in some other directory and not
in /home/, it's not exactly a home directory. /shared/ or /media/shared/
or /srv/shared/

I'd also worry about it being owned by root, what group? root too?
shared:users should be a good ownership and drwxrwx--- with the sticky
bit should be a good permission. Although hat's only my first instincts.

Martin,
