[mdlug] Export homedirs via NFS and Samba?

[Bhaskar Navaneetham]

In my experience with redhat 4.0 Enterprise, the winbind is mandatory to
keep the hybrid network such as you have. but the unfortunate part to me
even though  i have premium support, redhat is not useful ( or the engineer
may be ). So my suggestion try with winbind or if its absolutely critical,
call the redhat team to help for your by blocking their minimal support.

Best of luck.
