[Samba] template homedir

[Peter Carlson]

Hi Rowland,

I didn't want to put the actual names in the email, so I'll put the 
pertinant part of [global] with the name slightly changed

[global]
     netbios name = NC1
     realm = PETERCARLSON.LOCAL
     server role = active directory domain controller
     server services = s3fs, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, 
winbindd, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate
     workgroup = SPC
     idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes


home folders are getting created as : /home/peter at petercarlson.local and 
not peter at SPC
