I am using WGM according to the method describe here :
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/05/25/ldap.html
But I do not use their command line method “sudo createhome -a” .
I create an entry inside the list “where” (afp://server.domain.com/Volumes/Users). But if you let that new location selected the home will never be create even if you clic on “Create Home Now” so I found that by re-selecting the default entry in the list (afp://server.domain.com/Users) and clicing on “Create Home Now” and save the home is create.
What I can see under the Tab button is that :
——–
Home: afp://server.domain.com/Users/jdoe
/Network/Servers/server.domain.com/Volumes/
——–
It’s completely tricky but it was working until now… 😕

Thanks,
But When you create a new user with his home folder with WGM, the Library folder from the user doen’t contain the Keychain folder. But you can log on and when you launch Keychain Access you have a popup saying that “the specified keychain is not a valid keychain file”. In fact the Keychain folder doen’t exist…
And when you launch Safari for the first time : “A keychain cannot be found to store “Safari”” At this point you can reset keychain to default and create a login.keychain file but this file still not valid.
In the system log you can find that:
Sep 28 18:20:11 localhost /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari: Locking /Network/Servers/server.domain.de/Volumes/Image/Users/jdoe/Library/Keychains/lck~login.keychain

If you delete the login.keychain file > logout and try to login with the same user the computer run forever with a nice blue screen, right, but quite boring in the end… 😐
And the ew account I create from now do the same…
