fedora directory server + home directories
 

Hi,

I am setting up a directory server + Samba PDC using Fedora Directory server as the backend. The samba integration has worked fine following the HOWTO on the FDS website.

However when creating a new user with a posix settings FDS does not create the users home directory. Is there someway that I can set this, so that when a new user is created it automatically creates the home directory, or is this something that I need to create manually?

At the moment looking at the massive documents that come with FDS I can not find any information about how to use the console to change any setting that relate to this problem.

Thanks in advance...

No need for any help had to install user management tools for this.

where can i get the "user management tools" for this?

In the end I had to bin the fedora directory server approach to create a PDC with samba. In the end I used the tools provides by idealx.org http://www.idealx.com/content/view/184/169/lang,fr/ and that works a treat.

This provides all the user admin tools to create both windows and linux accounts. It is mainly command based, and that is how I have it set up. There is a web interface for it but as of yet I have not got it to work.

Hope this helps.
