Likewise Open 5.0.3964 (Default branch)

Likewise Open is an application that joins Linux,Unix, and Mac OS machines to Microsoft ActiveDirectory and securely authenticates users withtheir domain credentials. Features include:joining non-Windows systems to Active Directorydomains in a single step from the command line orfrom a GUI; authenticating users with a singleuser name and password; enforcing the samepassword policies for all platforms; supportingmultiple forests with one-way and two-way crossforest trusts; caching credentials in case yourdomain controller goes down; and providing singlesign-on for SSH and Putty. It does not requireActive Directory schema changes for installation.License: GNU General Public License v2Changes:
Improved performance. When a duplicate UID is found, it will go to AD to get info on a user rather than updating the cache. When a bad username/password is given to domainjoin, it will report "password is incorrect for this account" instead of "call to krb5 failed." Unix attributes from AD are no longer ignored in the default cell.Image

NAME
createhomedir -- create and populate home directories on the local computer. SYNOPSIS
createhomedir [-scbalh] [-n directoryDomainName] [-u username] DESCRIPTION
createhomedir provides several options for creating and populating home directories. OPTIONS
-s creates home directories for server home paths only (default). -c creates home directories for local home paths only. -b creates home directories for both server and local home paths. -a creates home directories for users defined in all directory domains of the server's search path. -l creates home directories for users defined in the local directory domain. -n directoryDomainName creates home directories for users defined in a specific directory domain in the server's search path. -u username creates a home directory for a specific user defined in the domain(s) identified in the -a, -l, or -n parameter. If you omit the -a, -l, and -n parameters when you use the -u parameter, -a is assumed. -i reads username list from standard input and creates specified home directories. Each username should be on its own line. -h usage help. FILES
/usr/sbin/createhomedir location of tool CAVEATS
When using the -a option, search limits of various directory servers (such as Open Directory or Active Directory) can prevent all possible home directories from being created. In this case, you may need to specify the usernames explicitly. Mac OS X June 1, 2019 Mac OS X
