Giovanni,

Thanks for the information. I think I have got it working. I also had to enable NIS Homedir to Yes (Even though the protocol is LDAP). I am not sure if this made a difference as I had changed a few other parameters as well. So far so good though.

Thanks,
Philip.

Dear All,

I am trying to automount a home directory on a Samba server. The Samba server is set to USER security and it does currently authenticate to an LDAP server (iPlanet DS 5.1). However, once logged in I would like to see an entry pointing to the users home directory which is done automatically using data from the LDAP directory. There are nearly 20,000 users in the directory so setting up one share for each is not practical.

Thanks,
Philip.

You can add this entry in your smb.conf
[share]
path = /home/%G%U
%U is the user
%G is the GRUOP

When the user is logging samba mount the correct share for each users.
