I can tell for sure that it works perfectly in Ubuntu 12.04LTS (IIRC the
exact version) w/ RID backend.
Uh? "wide links" seems a bad idea to me... At least from a security
perspective.
Why a single home directory? We have a single NFS share containing
folders for the two domains and inside those a folder for each home.
We are trying to migrate away from that, preferring a '[homes]' share
where users will place the data they want to have available on every PC.
This way even Firefox should work...

Once you have it working, it's addictive :)
