Great information on integrating a Samba File-Server with a FreeIPA environment. The only thing I seem to not be able to get working using the ipasam method is auto-creation of [homes](//SERVER/username) directory. When I create the folder before attempting to connect everything works fine.

I believe this is because, as the official Samba documentation states, samba only searches the local /etc/passwd file. Not sure if there is a solution to this, but it is something to note.

I'd also like to toy with compiling the ipasam.so binary for use on Debian, since I prefer to run my machines on that instead of Rocky (or some other Fedora/Red Hat based distro.) Though I'm not sure I'd like to run my NAS on something that experimental.
