[K12OSN] *Home Directories*

[Joel Buchan]

You could use this script 
http://mirrors.techiesabode.com/linuxgazette/101/levkovich.html grabs a 
list using wbinfo and creates a home folder and sets permissions I think 
it is what your after.

> I recently installed K12LTSP 4.4.1 and needed to authenticate against 
> a W2K3 ADS. I was able to get that working today by using winbind. 
> However, now I have another question. While testing this, I used a 
> domain account to log into the terminal and receive the following message:
>
> Your home directory is listed as: ‘/home/EMHS/vangundypw’ but does not 
> appear to exist. Do you want to log in with the / (root) directory as 
> your home directory? It is unlikely anything will work unless you use 
> a failsafe session.
>
> Now when I create the users folder in the /home/EMHS directory on the 
> K12LTSP server and put them as the owners it works fine and they can 
> log in. However, I run a fairly large domain with a LOT of users. Is 
> it possible to make it so that these folders are automatically created 
> for each domain user and the permissions are given to them as they log 
> onto the machine? Or at least make it so that Linux grabs user 
> information from the ADS and automatically creates the folders? I am 
> trying to avoid creating each individual home folder. Any and all help 
> in this matter would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance.
