i've got 2 groups (students and employes)
who have there home dirs in 2 different places.

/home/students/<user>
/home/employ/<user>

It's not just you:
we have s3 connected to and s4 domain and we want e.g.

/home2/students/year7
/home2/students/year7/year7a/<student>
/home2/students/year7/year7b/<student>
/home2/staff
/home2/staff<teacher>

Under winbind we cannot see how to do it. So we have used the new nss-pam-ldapd instead and store the unixHomeDirectory in the directory. As it's available in both the 2008 and s4 schema it works quickly and efficiently. With the homeDirectory [share] and unixHomeDirectory being mapped by ldapd it works fine. Just like under 2008r2. I Really do think we should look into this being standard.

Winbind has done a good job since 2000 but unless it can cope with new ideas. . . I'm sure it can. It's just not as easy.
Please contact us personally for full details.
Cheers,
Steve.
