[Samba] Automatically creating home directories?

[Dimitri Yioulos]

Hello to all.

I want to use winbind to automatically create email accounts.  I've added 
several linux boxes to our win2k3 AD and working pretty well (more in a new 
post about this).  When I create a new user on the win2k3 box, users can 
access various shares on the linux boxes, as it should be.  I also have a 
sendmail server sitting in a DMZ.  I have to create the email user account on 
this box separately.  I'd like to eliminate this step.

I've added 3.0.14a to the email server, and fired up winbind.  It works like a 
charm!  But ... I still need to create user home directories so that mail 
gets deilvered to thier mailboxes.  I know there's a samba directive as 
follows:  "template homedir = home/%D/%U".  Should this create user home 
directories?  If not, is there a way to do this automatically, and if so, 
how.

As always, many thanks.

Dimitri
