[Samba] Does Samba configured with "--with-nisplus-home" mount users' homes in LDAP?
My environment is moving from using NIS+ as a naming service for Unix systems to LDAP as the naming service. The Samba server was configured using both "--with-automount" and "--with-nisplus-home". The server is only used to mount users' homes (must have a Unix account) as well as data shares for users who don't have Unix clients (Only PCs). No really advanced configurations. My question is: will the samba server mount users' homes when it becomes an LDAP client instead of a NIS+ client? I have setup an LDAP client Samba test server and it appears to mount users' homes correctly. After setting the log level higher, it appears to look for an auto_home entry and if it doesn't have one then it fails (If it has an entry it works). How does this work when compiled with "--with-nisplus-home"? Does it do an LDAP query of the auto_home container, or is it using the automount tables to look for the home? Thanks
