So the question for this list would be: how can I query a Windows NT
PDC (no ldap) about a user's home directory. That script may need to
have an administrator password to be able to query the PDC.
I found the answer to this one. It should be pretty easy with a few
lines of Perl. Tthis is how you can use rpcclient to find out:
$ rpcclient -W DomainName -U AnyUserName%ThatUsersPassword -I
192.168.1.x -c "queryuser $USER_RID" ServerName
This will output info like
Home Drive :
Dir Drive :
Profile Path:
Logon Script:
etc.
To get the $USER_RID which you need for that query, first do:
$ rpcclient -W DomainName -U AnyUserName%ThatUsersPassword -I
192.168.1.x -c "lookupnames $USER_NAME" ServerName
it will tell you something like this
...
$USER_NAME S-1-5-21-235741621-998855438-184960113-1063 (User: 1)
The $USER_RID you want is 1063.
To get it with Perl, it would look something like
my ($USER_RID) = /.*-(\d+)/;
(once you have the right output line in $_)
Once you know where the user's home is, you can mount it through nfs,
and authentication should be automatic if the Linux side of things is
configured correctly.
