Weird, but then, I don't do automounting (coming from a long history

Do you have an alternative suggestion that I could forward to our
sysadmin?
I love open-ended requests :=}
Sorry, but I don't have an alternative scheme; I just don't automount
my home directory. For me, it's no loss, because I work in a small
network, and use different systems for different things. The cost is
just a small amount of replication.
There is no good reason to put mounted home directories under
"/private", because they are already "private".
I have no idea why it ends up in /private, but apparently something
changed with the Mac OS X 10.3.5 update. It's strange that only Xcode,
of all applications on the system, needs to have a problem with this.
That's why I think something got borked in your update; it would be
useful to know what others see...
Apparently automounted NFS home directories is not used at all at
Apple, that much is clear... :)
I doubt that is true; it wasn't when I worked there.
You're right, and that's what makes it so difficult - I would have
to scratch my current OS, reinstall 10.3 from the CD and then
manually upgrade it to 10.3.4 (can't use SU as it would suggest
10.3.5).
If so, that's good to know. I wasn't aware one could do this
"manually".
You can find updates, new and old, archived here:

Thanks; I'd missed that tidbit somewhere along the line.
Thank you for your suggestions so far!
Such as it is :-}
Regards,
Justin
