Both server and replica should pass this option to client installer which is executed as a part of server or replica installation. Before filing bugs, it would be good to check what/if something happened. Client installer configures creation of home dir in standard way. Meaning it calls something like: # authconfig --enablemkhomedir --update You can check with what options authconfig was called by: # cat /var/log/ipaclient-install.log | grep authconfig if --enablemkhomedir is not there then it is possible that something else enabled it. -- Petr Vobornik -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
