[K12OSN] SMBLDAP question

[Kari Matthews]

I have a really dumb question; I am hoping maybe David Trask or some other
kind soul can help me:

I have a lab set up with Edubuntu workstations and a Ubuntu server.  We use
SMBLDAP to authenticate student logins on the server.

The guy who helped me set it up sent me some directions; the first thing it
tells me to do is mv /home/administrator /administrator and then usermod -d
/administrator.  We make "admin" a local login and administrator a server
login.

When I do this, I can no longer run anything, particularly the users &
groups GUI or the Synaptic Package Manager.

My question is, is there a way to make these things run without the
existence of the /home/administrator directory?

Any other ideas for ways to make these Edubuntu workstation logins
authenticate on teh server?  Any ideas for speeding up the computers that
authenticate really slowly?  I need to set up 2 workstations that puked on
me; I also have a couple of workstations that take 3+ minutes to log a
student in.  The other workstations log people in in under 30 sec's.

Thanks for any ideas you can share.

Best
kari
