NIS homedir not working?

[Andy Smith]

Just attempted to upgrade a fairly extensive network of suns running
solaris 2.5.1 from a cvs version dated june last year to the current
cvs.

Most of the functionality was tested offline so I was reasonably
confident that everything would be a drop in replacement, but I've got
caught out because the PDC in the production network is not the home
directory server, and I had been using NIS Homedir=true in smbd.conf
to load home shares from the autohome map.  At first sight, this does
not appear to be honoured on 2.1.0-prealpha, no matter what entry in
autohome, home shares were looked for on the logon server, for most
users at our place, this is invalid.  I have backed out the upgrade
now, so the panic is over, but I was so looking forward to the
domain group and rpcclient stuff..

I haven't had chance yet to check the configure script, but can anyone recall
whether default inclusion for support for this feature has been changed?

Thanks
