[Samba] Winbind. making home directory on the fly

[John Simovic]

What if I have home directories already on a Windows server and want to export that directory to a unix mount point. Is this possible with some sort of NFS for Windows program?

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
