I already had been using authconfig for sssd setup. Authentication (via
AD/ldap) and caching works well. I only need  per user mounting of their
AD-directories and hadn't found a hint in the authconfig man page.

Ok, that seems the way to go. Through your tip I now found that there is
an autofs/automount via "ldap_autofs_*" in sssd. Let's see if I get this
set up.

Yeah, looks like good thing but afaics I would have to set up a server
for that. I think at first I have to get comfy with the basics in the
"red hatted" world (I am coming from a debianic and SUSE background).

Thank you for your hints!

Cheerz,
