There is one more issue, and that is having a pam_mkhomedir entry for use
with LDAP. I am not sure how often it would be as useful with ldap (since
one can probably assume most LDAP uses would be in conjunction with NFS?)
as it is with winbind (where we do use it by default). Maybe in future it
should be an option in a GUI?

resend in private from a real mail client ;-).
