I have a Samba (2.2.8a) PDC on one FreeBSD box, and a fileserver on another FreeBSD box (both 4.8-RELEASE). I have user home directories on the fileserver and they are exported via NFS. I would like to have them been available via Samba (via the /homes share) without having to NFS-mount them on the PDC. So, it seems as if the configuration options "nis homedir" and "homedir map" are my ticket in.
So, I tried a simple map in a file 'amd.homes' something with like this: someuser fileserver:/u/someuser And added to my smb.conf these lines: nis homedir = yes homedir map = amd.homes I added amd.homes as an available NIS map, and verified its export with: ypcat -k amd.homes I have Samba (2.2.8a) installed on the fileserver, but now I am stumped. If the point of "nis homedir" is to directly mount the NFS-exported home directory, how does Samba on the fileserver come in? How should I configure the installation of Samba on the fileserver, specifically in the [/homes] module? -- Paul Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Webmaster/Systems Administrator Center for Neighborhood Technology Chicago, Illinois USA -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
