Les,

There are no /home directories on our servers.

I thought you were trying to give general advice - or that what you posted might be taken that way.

Data we create which is NOT essential for the operating system to function is usually not in an operating system directory.

That's interesting, but not a necessary condition for anything.

'yum update' still works successfully.

But, can you still 'yum install' any/all of the large number of packaged web applications from the base and 3rd party repos that will drop additional files into conf.d and expect a certain base setup?
