nis homedir = boolean

Allowable values : YES, NO

Default : NO

If YES, the homedir map is used to look up the server hosting the user 's home directory and return it to the client. The client will contact that system to connect to the share. This avoids mounting from a system that doesn't actually have the directory, which would cause the data to be transmitted twice. The system with the home directories must be an SMB server.
