I successfully switched all my clients over to using the samba 4 AD 
back-end with sssd. Other than getting PAM to cooperate the changeover 
was pretty smooth actually. The only issue that I seem to have now is 
with the automount of the user home directory. If I use:

 > cat /etc/auto.home
#
# File: /etc/auto.home
#
# nfs automount
*    -acl nikita.myhome.nurdog.com:/home/&

Everything is fine. However if I use:

 > cat /etc/auto.home
#
# File: /etc/auto.home
#
# cifs automount
* -fstype=cifs,sec=krb5,multiuser,username=NAS$ 
://nikita.myhome.nurdog.com/home/&

the automount fails. I find this entry in the logs on nas

Oct 29 15:12:33 nas kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

but nothing on the AD nikita. Not really a big deal as I am quite happy 
to use a nfs mount but on the other hand I can't find anything on the 
internet that seemed pertinent to my situation. I really hate it when I 
don't understand behavior. Does anyone have a suggestion?
