Depending on your configuration (more details would be helpful), you
have a few options:
- automount the various directories that your users need
- hard mount them somewhere and use symlinks
- hard mount them somehwere and then bind mount them other places

My own approach is to mount each /home from other computers under this
computer's /home as, e.g.:
/home/homeDumbledore
and each user then dives into their own directory on dumbledore under
that link.

I should have added that each user can add this to their $PATH if you
want it searchable (AFAIK this isn't a problem, being an NFS share, that
is).
