Hi, i'm testing a new openldap server, and i have everything set, i can add users, groups, and log on in differents machines with the same user. Everything works fine. but i have a problem, i have to create the home directory for each new user on each new machine that I log on. is there a way that this process can be automatic?. Ideas?

I googled for 'openldap automatically create home directories'
and found http://www.rjsystems.nl/en/2100-openldap-client.php

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.
