<para>Get the home share server from a NIS map. For
|
|
UNIX systems that use an automounter, the user's home directory
|
|
will often be mounted on a workstation on demand from a remote
|
|
server. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When the Samba logon server is not the actual home directory
|
|
server, but is mounting the home directories via NFS then two
|
|
network hops would be required to access the users home directory
|
|
if the logon server told the client to use itself as the SMB server
|
|
for home directories (one over SMB and one over NFS). This can
|
|
be very slow.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This option allows Samba to return the home share as
|
|
being on a different server to the logon server and as
|
|
long as a Samba daemon is running on the home directory server,
|
|
it will be mounted on the Samba client directly from the directory
|
|
server. When Samba is returning the home share to the client, it
|
|
will consult the NIS map specified in
|
|
<smbconfoption name="homedir map"/> and return the server
|
|
listed there.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that for this option to work there must be a working
|
|
NIS system and the Samba server with this option must also
|
|
be a logon server.</para>
