[MacTUG] Spotlight and SEP and Remote home directories

[Ian Turner]

we have Symantec set to scan/protect ONLY the local drive, because it 
was causing too much latency with network home directories - ie we would 
get "bogus" "unable to save". especially  an MS Office document - the 
"protection" was preventing a "write acknowledgement" before the timeout

We had previously (a long time ago) been concerned that spotlight might 
"go wild" - more in terms of space it might chew up, but the only 
incident I can recall was an apocryphal instance where one of our 
superpower admins had a symlink in his home directory - to the root of 
all user home directories!  then "wild" was an understatement
