Mount $HOME
The given documentation using pam_mkhomedir creates a local $HOME on the client. This user will have different files in his $HOME on each client he uses. If you prefere to use the single instance $HOME from your Zentyal Server do this instead:
apt-get install cifs-utils smbclient libpam-mount # fetch required packages
Edit the existing file /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml and add a line like this:
<!-- Volume definitions --> <volume user="*" fstype="cifs" server="10.1.100.1" path="%(DOMAIN_USER)" mountpoint="/home/%(DOMAIN_USER)" options="sec=ntlm,nodev,nosuid" />
(Replace only the IP address with that one of your server and leave the rest unmodified.)
