I am using NIS to centrally maintain a list of users who share a set of
notebooks. Each notebook is setup as a nis slave server, so it knows
about all users in the nis database, even when not connected to the
network.
The problem with a notebook is that it will not always be on the
network. Therefore a user in the nis database needs a home directory
locally on that notebook
The following shell script tries to create home directories for each
user in the database, unless it already exists.
May I suggest to add this script as a part of the NIS utilities?
cat yp-homedir
#! /bin/bash
# create a local home directory for a user in the nis database
# use /etc/skel as a reference
cd /etc/skel
for i in `ypcat passwd|awk -F : '{print $1}'`;
do
home=`ypcat passwd|grep ^$i|awk -F : '{print $6}'`
echo "$i -> $home"
if [ ! -d $home ]; then
echo "creating homedir for nis-user $i in $home"
mkdir -m u=rwx,g=rx,o= $home
chown $i:$i $home
find | cpio -pdv -R $i.$i $home
fi
done
Thanks
Remy

For populating the home directories from /etc/skel pam_mkhomedir and
autodir seem like better solutions to this problem - they will create
the directories as they are needed rather than requiring the admin to
remember to run a script.
Trying to copy network home directories on to the machine would be
asking for trouble as soon as someone makes changes: you have to worry
about merging things back and forth.
