I've just come across SSSD and have managed to set it up for use against
our LDAP server. Yay!
We have LDAP set up for user and group management, and all users' homes
live on an NFS share. This is fine for me most of the time, except for
on the machine where I do development; I really don't like to run the
compiler against files on NFS!
I see three options
1. Use a local user, with a local $HOME, for development.
2. Create a local dir on the dev machine and use it for all development.
3. Give the LDAP user a local $HOME on the dev machine.
I looked into 3 a bit and found `override_homedir`. It works fine, but
then *all* users on the dev machine get a local $HOME. Is it possible to
override $HOME for a specific user only?
/M
PS I'd also be most interested in hearing if there are any other
solutions to this problem.
