help on netscape directory server

Im attempting to implement nds with ldap to do user and dns administration from a central location. So far Im able to add a user to to directory server and login into that machine with those credentials. But i have a few questions

1)how do you create a home directory on the ldap client when adding a user to the directory?

2)how do i restrict user access to certain ldap clients? Do I create a seperate organizational unit for each host and a profile ou beneath that host?(hope that makes sense)

Is this the right place to ask these questions?

Does anyone want to post and example of there directory structure for user manegement?

1) do the home directories already exist on a network device, so that
you only need them mounted locally? autofs can be set up to use LDAP as
well - so that would enable those.
2) if not, do you need to create a *local* directory whenever a user
logs in? look in /usr/share/doc/pam-0* for the pam_mkhomedir module,
which can do this for you.

Re: help on netscape directory server

i cannot find pam files in /usr/share/doc

it would have to be a local home directory as we will have users who are cross platform(redhat,solaris, hpux)
