In the "Create New User" dialogue I add values for User Name, Full Name and the password and select a Login Shell. I make sure "Create home directory" is checked and I (at present) check "Create a private group for the user". I also specify the user ID and group ID manually. After I have created the user I then login to that user locally and then logout. This creates the Home Directory and also populates it with all the required Gnome bits (I'm using the Fedora default desktop). After logging out I then go back into system-config-users and remove the users making sure I deselect the option to remove the Home and Mail directories. I now go into the 389 console and add the user into the directory using values identical to those I'd used in the original local user create. In System->Administration->Authentication I have (obviously) enabled LDAP for User Information and for Authentication. Under Options I have the (I think default) settings of "Use Shadow Password", "Local authorization is sufficient for local users", and "Create home directories on the first login" checked. Cheers, Andrew
