+.SS nis homedir (G)
+Get the home share server from a NIS (or YP) map. For unix systems that
+use an automounter, the user's home directory will often be mounted on
+a workstation on demand from a remote server. When the Samba logon server
+is not the actual home directory server, two network hops are required
+to access the home directory and this can be very slow especially with
+writing via Samba to an NFS mounted directory. This option allows samba
+to return the home share as being on a different server to the logon
+server and as long as a samba daemon is running on the home directory
+server, it will be mounted on the Samba client directly from the directory
+server. When Samba is returning the home share to the client, it will
+consult the NIS (or YP) map specified in "homedir map" and return the
+server listed there.
