<description>
<para>Get the home share server from a NIS 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. </para>
<para>When the Samba logon server is not the actual home directory
server, but is mounting the home directories via NFS then two
network hops would be required to access the users home directory
if the logon server told the client to use itself as the SMB server
for home directories (one over SMB and one over NFS). This can
be very slow.</para>
<para>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 map specified in
<smbconfoption name="homedir map"/> and return the server
listed there.</para>
<para>Note that for this option to work there must be a working
NIS system and the Samba server with this option must also
be a logon server.</para>
