[Samba] change user home

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Ok, did read again the last messages. 

 winbindd --version  ?  .. and internal winbindd of samba 4 or running winbindd. ? 

if internal, then, i'll have to wait until sernet-samba 4.1 is ready.. 
and i know its about 2-3 weeks. :-)) nice work guys.  
will be patient.. 

it's clear to me. 

Greetz, 

Louis
