[mdlug] Export homedirs via NFS and Samba?

[Wojtak, Greg]

Solution found?!

I am still using winbind.  In my [homes] section, I have the following:

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = no
        writable = yes
        force user = %S


I added the force user to force the UNIX permissions to be the name of
the service, in this case the username and name of the home directories
match up.

Comments?  I'm curious what other people think of this - limitations
(other than the obvious of having the username have to match the home
directory name).

Thanks!

Yes, that's a common setup, but if Greg has UNIX accounts for all users 
already,  why does he need winbind?

The "winbind trusted domains only" and "winbind trusted domains only" 
parameters sound like they might solve this kind of problem;  but I've
never 
needed to use winbind.

Another possibility,  if his personal account is the only one with this 
problem,  is to edit /etc/passwd and change the uid for "gwojtak" to the
one 
winbindd generated for "MI+gwojtak".  I have a computer where I
sometimes 
want my home-directory to be local and sometimes want it to come in over

NFS,  so I have a line in /etc/passwd "dLocal:1024:..." and a local path
in 
the "home" column and another line "davidl:1024:...".
