Hi I am running a RH9 box in a w2k domain. I have installed winbind on the RH9 box joined it to the domain successfully. Domain users can login with their accounts. The problem is when they login they get a message stating that their home dir doesnt excists. How can i map their home dir that is on a w2k member server and how can i create their home dir on the RH9 box when the domain users login? I would prever to map their home dir from the member server.

I had to make a script to do that automatically
-------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use
File::Path;
$USER = $ARGV[0];
$GROUP $ARGV[1];
$HOMEDIR = "/home/users/".$USER;
if ( ($USER ne "guest") && ($USER ne
"nobody") ) {
open (FILEHANDLE, "$HOMEDIR");
if ( ! -e FILEHANDLE) {
mkdir($HOMEDIR,0750);
`chown "$USER"."$GROUP" $HOMEDIR`;
}
}
----------------------------
and place into /home/netlogon (or anywhere you
want)
I add into
[homes]
root preexec = /home/netlogon/mk_homedir.pl "%U"
"%G"

mapping home dir
Hi
I
am running a RH9 box in a w2k domain. I have
installed
winbind on the RH9 box joined it to the
domain
successfully. Domain users can login with
their accounts.
The problem is when they login they
get a message stating
that their home dir doesnt
excists. How can i map their
home dir that is on a
w2k member server and how can i
create their home
dir on the RH9 box when the domain users
login? I
would prever to map their home dir from the
member
server.

To mount a Windows home share on which a user has permissions, use pam_mount. This module will transfer the password using PAM that a user enters during login to the appropriate mount command. Download pam_mount from: http://www.flyn.org/projects/pam_mount/index.html Read the docs. Here is my configuration: /etc/security/pam_mount.conf: (last line in the file) volume * smb WinServer & /home/&/WinHome uid=&,gid=& - - Edit the /etc/pam.d/ files accordingly.
