samba - Feb 2002 - How to create Home directories upon request ?

Dear Sirs,

the problem is:

[machine A] <-> [machine B]

machine A runs samba and NIS, machine A has all the home directories.

machine B is NIS client and runs samba with "password server = A",
how can I tune machine B in order to Home directories to be created
directly on machine B (if not found) when particular user logs in ??



Regards, (????????? ?????????)

you dont. as long as machine B is nis client, export the home
directories on (A) via NFS as well, and setup the automounter on (B) to
mount them on demand...
