That does not cover the case where the home is on a NFS server. I have a hack that hooks to a shell backend to detect user additions and create homes. There is a LDAP replica on the NFS server, with something like this in slapd.conf database shell suffix "cn=log" rootdn "cn=root,dc=log" add "/usr/local/bin/ldapexec" "add"

ldapexec scans the logs and create homes. Unfortunately, the thing does not work reliably enough to get published, but it works enough so that I do not feel the need to rewrite it.
