You are right about administrator not being able to login because of the 
home directory, but Administrator isn't supposed to login to a linux 
machine, so that isn't really a problem. I personally have never had a 
problem logging onto a linux domain machine as root, are you sure that 
your problem isn't just a problem with your setup, after all, nobody 
else has ever complained about this particular problem.
