Question on winbind

[David Krovich]

	Ok, I'm still a little unclear about what winbind does with
home directories.
	
	Lets say I have user named johndoe in my windows NT domain.
I setup winbind on a unix machine, and have johndoe log on to the
unix machine.  What does he get as a home directory?  

	Does the user johndoe just get whatever is set in the Windows
NT Domain database?
