[Samba] change user home

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai Steve, 

Yes, sssd is an option, when installed on the server where samba4 (sernet) is running, it removes samba4. :-(

yes, this is true, users should not login on any DC controllers, but 
.. in my network im using mailscript, webscript, perl en bash script to 
do tricks with the data i give to my users. 
thats why i need it. 

If this is the case, then, i must setup a new samba4 DC and keep a seperated mail server.
yes, the server im speaking about is a mail server, running zarafa, AND is samba 4 DC.
Windows users cannot login on the windows server, only the authentication is used,
but, for the "scripted" data i need the home folders, and that i pull from AD. 

it still a test setup, so i can change, but its good to learn. ;-) 

Big Thanx !!
