[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 0003 Honor the default home directory in user_add

[Petr Viktorin]

Honor the default home directory base when creating a new user. Test 
included. I also cleaned up the way home directory was created.

This patch removes the default from the --homedirectory option, letting 
the server fill it in pre_callback. If I'm reading this correctly, 
default_from and create_default run on the client-side, so they can't 
get to the config without round-tripping to the server.

Also, I've cleaned up the home directory generation to use 
posixpath.join instead of '%s/%s' and ad-hoc cleanup. This should be 
more robust. (It will also behave differently if the username starts 
with '/' or maybe similar cases of the user asking for trouble.)

A question: Do we want to use posixpath here, or os.path? Put another 
way, should the home directories separated by '\' if the server runs on 
Windows?
