[Samba] Samba + ADS + User Accounts

[Christoph Scheeder]

Hi,
yes, samba can do that, kindof....;-)
What you want is realized via pam.
You need to install the pam_mkhomedir module and configure it for all
services your users use to connect to your server.
After that the home-dir for each user will be created automagically the
first time the user trys to access the server.
But don't ask me how to do it on fedora, cause i don't know it.
pam with all its tricks and traps is verry distribution-specific.
if you used debian i could tell you more...
