|

| 12 | <para>When the Samba logon server is not the actual home directory
|

| 13 | server, but is mounting the home directories via NFS then two
|
|---|
| 14 | network hops would be required to access the users home directory
|
|---|
| 15 | if the logon server told the client to use itself as the SMB server
|
|---|
| 16 | for home directories (one over SMB and one over NFS). This can

| 19 | <para>This option allows Samba to return the home share as
|
|---|
| 20 | being on a different server to the logon server and as
|
|---|
| 21 | long as a Samba daemon is running on the home directory server,
|
|---|
| 22 | it will be mounted on the Samba client directly from the directory
|
|---|
| 23 | server. When Samba is returning the home share to the client, it
|
|---|
| 24 | will consult the NIS map specified in
|
|---|
| 25 | <smbconfoption name="homedir map"/> and return the server
|

| 26 | listed there.</para>
