SMB Autohome Entries

The SMB server can automatically share home directories when an SMB client connects. The autohome map file, /etc/smbautohome, uses the search options and rules to determine whether to share a home directory when an SMB client connects to the server.

For example, the following entries specify the autohome rules for a particular environment:

+nsswitch             dc=ads,dc=oracle,dc=com,ou=users
auser    /home/?/&    dc=ads,dc=oracle,dc=com,ou=users

The nsswitch autohome entry uses the naming service to match users to home directories. The second autohome entry specifies that the home directory for user auser is /home/a/auser.
