At the office I have a SuSe 9.3 pro machine running a samba server, acting as PDC for our domain. Among the desktops I have a mix of Win XP machines and machines running SuSe 9.3 pro. All authentication is handled by the PDC and roaming profiles work as expected for the windows clients. However, I was wondering if there is any way to get roaming profiles for the SuSe clients aswell? Rght now the SuSe clients authenticate the user accounts with the PDC, but they still have a local home directory on the client machine (and if one doesnt exist its created by the pam_mkhomedir.so plugin upon login). Would be nice to have a way to make the users homedir on the PDC the default homedir when the user logs onto their domain account from their desktop. Anyone have any good idea on how to achieve this?
