Hi all,

I have an environment here with two sites. On both sides there is planned to run a ClearOS server. B)

Some users roam between these two sites so I want them to be able to log in at both sites and have their working environment the same.

So far I'm using Account Synchronisation (ClearOS Pro) which appears to work pretty fine so far. I can log in on both servers.

But I have no clue how to solve the issue with the home directories. :unsure:

Each user gets but default its Samba home directory as /home/%U (i.e. /home/jdoe) with the username. Wokrs fine in a single server setup.

I was thinking of using the %G Variable in smb.conf to get an additional subdirectory like this:
/home/%G/U --> /home/site1/jdoe or /home/site2/esmith where the /home/site1 and /home/site2 folders would be an NFS mount from the other site and jdoe would be a member of the group "site2" while esmith would be a member of "site2"

In theory this should work pretty fine. :blush:
In pratice Samba in ClearOS always replaces the "%G" with "allusers" as this appears to be the primary group for all users. :blink: The group "allusers" cannot be edited in ClearOS :dry:

Is there any way how to archive my goal? How can I flag users so I can have different home directories for them?

Thanks in advance!
