That just defines what the home directory will be. If you want to have 
home directories made for you, use pam_mkhomedir.so either in your stack 
(ie system-auth) or in the service you want to allow to make home 
directories.

Look in packaging/Mandrake/system-auth-winbind.pamd in the source dist for 
an example (on Mandrake you can copy this file over 
/etc/pam.d/system-auth, for RH you may have to make adjustments).

Done for you if you choose "Windows Domain" authentication in Mandrake 9.0 
or 9.1
