Hi, I am very new to LDAP and I need some initial help with a couple  
of issues. I have an LDAP server (S1) that is used only to hold  
usenames, passwords etc.
I have an LTSP server that I set up as an LDAP client (S2) and  
authenticates to the LDAP server. The authentication is working  
perfectly and I used the smbldap scripts. The problem is that S2  
needs to have all user directories stored on it. Therefore, I  
exported /ldaphomes from S2 and mounted it on S1. The permissions on  
S2 for /ldaphomes is 0777 and each subdirectory that I want for my  
users should be 0700. When I run smbldap-useradd -m -d /ldaphomes/ 
testuser testuser on S1, the command runs successfully and the home  
directory is created but it is created as nobody:nogroup for owner  
and group. Does anyone know what script I need to modify in order for  
each user home directory to be created as owner:group of the user I  
am creating and permissions 0700?

Thanks
