samba - Dec 2005 - Domain Member Server as File server

Hi all

I have a Samba 3 PDC with LDAP, i want to configure another
Linux system as File server where all users home directories and other
shares
will be there. which i want to use with PDC,
I have made the file server as Domain Member server to my PDC . The
configuration files are below

A user when created in PDC using smbldap-useradd , i want the home directory
to be created in file server .
my domain is testdomain.com

but when use smbldap-useradd -a -m -C \\fsrv01\test test
the user test home directory is created in PDC itself, i have to manually
create the home directory in file server then
only i am able to access using PATH \\fsrv01\test

How can i add the user using smbldap-useradd so that home directory is
created in my file server and not in PDC.

in the file server, i have RHEL 4.0 and samba 3
For uid and Gid mapping, i have modified ldap.conf file in file server
############################## #####################################
host testdomain.com
base dc=msdpl,dc=com
binddn cn=manager,dc=msdpl,dc=com
bindpw secret
timelimit 30
nss_base_passwd        dc=msdpl,dc=com?sub
nss_base_shadow        dc=msdpl,dc=com?sub
nss_base_group        dc=msdpl,dc=com?sub
pam_password MD5
ssl no
####################################################################
and modified nsswitch.conf file in the file server
####################################################################
passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap
#####################################################################

my smb.conf file in the file server is follows

The Linux PAM module "pam_mkhomedir.so" is your friend.
