1 Yes I also use autofs with openldap.
2 My setup is as this: the PDC is running on a gentoo box and provide system authentification with openldap to windows
3 client and also gentoo client, I also use samba for filesharing between client and server.
4 Because I don't want my users being able to see at other users home directory I use autofs which mount only user
5 logged in home directory on the client.
