7 | <para>Get the home share server from a NIS map. For
|
---|
8 | UNIX systems that use an automounter, the user's home directory
|

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
|
---|
17 | be very slow.</para>

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>

27 |
|

28 | <para>Note that for this option to work there must be a working
|
---|
29 | NIS system and the Samba server with this option must also
|
---|
30 | be a logon server.</para>
