+.SS homedir map (G)
+If "nis homedir" is true, this parameter specifies the NIS (or YP) map
+from which the server for the user's home directory should be extracted.
+At present, only the Sun auto.home map format is understood. The form of
+the map is:
+
+username       server:/some/file/system
+
+and the program will extract the servername from before the first ':'.
+There should probably be a better parsing system that copes with different
+map formats and also Amd (another automounter) maps.
+
+NB: The -DNETGROUP option is required in the Makefile for option to work
+and on some architectures the line -lrpcsvc needs to be added to the
+LIBSM variable. This is required for Solaris 2, FreeBSD and HPUX.

+.SS nis homedir (G)
+Get the home share server from a NIS (or YP) map. For unix systems that
+use an automounter, the user's home directory will often be mounted on
+a workstation on demand from a remote server. When the Samba logon server
+is not the actual home directory server, two network hops are required
+to access the home directory and this can be very slow especially with 
+writing via Samba to an NFS mounted directory. This option allows samba
+to return the home share as being on a different server to the logon
+server and as long as a samba daemon is running on the home directory 
+server, it will be mounted on the Samba client directly from the directory
+server. When Samba is returning the home share to the client, it will
+consult the NIS (or YP) map specified in "homedir map" and return the
+server listed there.
