Re: when creating a user, home dir not created!

Yes, but DA doesn't always run on the system where the user's homedir  
would reside.

For example, I run it on a MAC OS X system - creating entries on a  
linux ldap server.  I sure wouldn't want DA to create a homedirectory  
on my MAC system for a linux
user.  If it did do that, I would have to first make sure that my MAC  
nfs mounts the linux server's home directory filesystem so that it can  
get created in the right place.

An option to do this would be nice, but I don't think that was the  
intent of DA.

Am I off base here?

I am thankful for the tool even w./out that option!
