I have set up an LDAP for system authentication using OpenLDAP on RH8 server
with RH9 workstations.  I have it working to validate user information,
however, when users log onto the machines there is no home folder for them.
Is there any reference documentation on how to create an environment where
anyone can log onto any machine and have their own desktop settings loaded
and in place?  Something similar to the function M$ has with roaming
profiles?  I'm having a terrible time trying to get a shared home directory
to work (not that I want one shared set of configs but I'm trying to get it
at least working).  I set each user's home folder to be one named "users".
I gave it 770 permissions and set all users up under the users group and set
the folder to be owned by root and set the group to users.  The first user
usually works but subsequent logins fail with permission problems since the
files created on that first login where owned by the person who first logged
in.  I can see this will be a further source of problems for me.  If there
is some way to get a roaming profiles scenario to work, that would be much
better.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
