Using the initial letter in the home directory

[Giovanni Mascellani <g.mascellani [at] gmail.com>]

Hi dear nss-pam-ldapd users and developers.

I am considering migrating to nss-pam-ldapd a network that at the moment
is using a custom modification by me of the old libnss-ldap (the
modification is to overcome the common mismatch between the Active
Directory server and the Linux clients).

Due to the number of users, I am keeping the home directories grouped in
different directories by the initial letter of the username. For
example, the home of the user foo would be /home/f/foo instead of
/home/foo. Is it possible to do this with the map directive in
nslcd.conf? At the moment I have in the configuration:

  map     passwd  homeDirectory   "/home/${sAMAccountName}"

and would like something like

  map     passwd  homeDirectory
"/home/${initialOfSAMAccountName}/${sAMAccountName}"

If this possible?

Thanks for the help and have a nice day.

Giovanni.
