I think I must be missing something here because as far as I can see,
winbindd puts all users into the directory specified in template
homedir. [homes] then picks out the user from there.


Yes you are stop using template homedir and configure winbind correctly.

OK. template homedir is now removed. Although we are using winbind we are not running winbindd. All our mapping is done using nss-pam-ldapd.


# deal with NSS and the whole UID/SID id mapping stuff
        idmap backend = tdb
        idmap uid = 2000000 - 2999999
        idmap gid = 2000000 - 2999999
        idmap config MYDOMAIN : backend = nss
        idmap config MYDOMAIN : readonly = yes
        idmap config MYDOMAIN : range = 500 - 1999999
        idmap cache time = 604800
        idmap negative cache time = 20
        winbind cache time = 600
        winbind nss info = rfc2307
        winbind expand groups = 2
        winbind nested groups = yes
        winbind use default domain = yes
        winbind enum users = yes
        winbind enum groups = yes
        winbind refresh tickets = yes
        winbind offline logon = false

No, we have none of that. Our global is simply:
[global]
        server role = domain controller
        workgroup = MARINA
        realm = hh3.site
        netbios name = HH1
        passdb backend = samba4
        wide links = Yes        
        unix extensions = No


You need to edit /etc/nsswitch of course. This is the "samba" way of
doing things.

We have
passwd: compat ldap
group:  compat ldap
hosts:  files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns


As to suggestions to use autofs on 2500 users, my advice is don't. Works
well at ~50 users but gets flacky at couple hundred users with random
things not working 100% of the time that will take you for ever to track
down to autofs if you do.

That's interesting/worrying. Although we have 2500 users, we only have around 150 computers in the domain, spread over 4 teaching labs. Those are split about 50:50 Linux:windows so I'd put the maximum number of NFS autofs mounts to be 80 at most. What do you recon?

Cheers and thanks for your comments,
Steve
