Problems with template to add nis users

I have set up NIS on an L class server which services a cluster of 2 servers in the domain and will expand in the future. OS=HP-UX B.11.00
These servers are running Citrix and used to authenticate users running citrix client on their desktops , enabling them to access applications on other servers through a firewall.
I have a perl script to add users in bulk but
my template that I created to add a single user via SAM has problems.
I do not want to create 'home' directories , so I created a directory called '/home/default'
and want every user to default to this.
My problem is that the template creates a subdirectory below '/home/default'based on the user login Eg: /home/default/user1. This inspite of unticking the box [ ]Create Home Directory . How could I fix this annoyance ?

My work around is to create the user using this template and then modify the directory to /home/default
Any help appreciated
