I'm using CentOS 5.3 to connect to use Kerberos for authentication and LDAP for user information. Unfortunately, the home directory for all users as stored in LDAP is "/". Very bright! So, that doesn't work. Without having any access to LDAP, I need to figure out how to force users to use the local directory "/home/username" as HOME.
I've tried editing /etc/bashrc but it seems like at that point it's too late to set HOME. Plus, I might need to edit the user's default shell, which is also stored in LDAP. Doesn't seem like changing the local /etc/bashrc would help because it might not even be loaded!
So, when using these components -- Kerberos, LDAP, pam, autofs -- when and where can I specify the environment for my users, if necessary overriding the environment set in LDAP?
TIA!!!1
